Excerpt from Performance of Federal Buildings in the January 17, 1994 Northridge Earthquake

Of the 23 departments or agencies that responded to the request for information, 12 reported that they had no owned buildings in the affected area (table The other 11 agencies collectively own over 4000 buildings in the affected area, about 120 of which were damaged by the earthquake. The estimated cost of repairing the damaged structures totals about $127 million. Table 2 summarizes the information on the damaged buildings and the estimated costs of repair.

There were no major injuries or fatalities reported in the damaged buildings. The earthquake occurred at a.m on a Federal holiday, Martin Luther King's Birthday, therefore most Federally-owned buildings, other than hospitals and residences, were not occupied. However, even if the earthquake had occurred while the buildings were fully occupied, the number of deaths and major injuries would have been relatively small because, with a few exceptions, the damage that did occur was minor.
