Downtown Seismic Risk Assessment and Land Use Regulations to Mitigate Seismic Risk
 Current News
The Municipality of Anchorage is soliciting proposals from qualified consultants to conduct a seismic risk assessment for the downtown area. This assessment will:
- evaluate the estimated impacts of a major earthquake on hypothetical development in the downtown study area;
- determine the level of risk associated with locating various types of development within existing mapped seismically-induced ground failure hazard zones; and,
- prepare recommended draft land use regulations for downtown which would mitigate the estimated impacts and risks of a major earthquake event.
