Abstract
The Morgan Hill earthquake of April 24, 1984 tested the response structure of Santa Clara County and several cities within the County. While there was no damage to the communications and command infrastructure, the response was seriously disrupted by overloading of the telephone system, and the lack of accurate damage intelligence. Analysis of the response to the earthquake has served to emphasize the need for improved preparedness activities at the local and regional level, the involvement of individuals, businesses, and schools in preparedness planning, and for improvements in communication systems and procedures.
