ABSTRACT
This section reports on impacts of the August 17, 1999 earthquake on water, power and gas utilities, based on field surveys conducted on August 24-25, 1999. Because services such as water and power are vital for the function of an urban region, they are referred to as lifelines. In general, lifelines performed well in this earthquake, especially the source and transmission elements. Distribution systems, however, were more severely damaged, especially the underground water system pipin in the high intensity areas
