ACTION ITEMS
Jim Reagan will produce a draft of the 2007 NESC annual report for
adoption at the August meeting. Terri Garside will place adoption
of this report on the agenda for that meeting.
Terri Garside will prepare the letter to the Nevada Board for the
Regulation of Liquefied Petroleum Gas for Ron Lynn's signature.
Jon Price will contact Kamala Carrnazzi to investigate the
possibility of getting a representative from the Nevada Earthquake
Safety Council on the State's Homeland Security Grants Working
Group.
Terri Garside will work with FEMA on scheduling a training class
on non-structural retrofits for hospitals.
Terri Garside will prepare the letter to the Nevada Board of
Professional Engineers & Land Surveyors on the accuracy of fault
locations in the USGS Quaternary Fault and Fold Database for Ron
Lynn's signature. Jon Price will send a copy of the letter to the
USGS earthquakes program, requesting that the disclaimer be more
prominent.
John Anderson will invite Chris Poland to give his Joyner Lecture.
Jim Reagan will help coordinate the lecture with the Economic
Development Authority of Western Nevada. One suggested time
for the lecture is in conjunction with the next NESC, although the
window of opportunity associated with the current earthquakes
might end quickly so a sooner time might be better.
