Abstract
The Whittier Narrows earthquake of October 1, 1987 was the most significant seismic event to occur in southern California since the San Fernando earthquake of February 1971. As such, the 5.9 magnitude temblor provided a basis for evaluating the level of preparedness in at least a portion of the Los Angeles metropolitan region. The Whittier Narrows event provides a hint of the progress that has been made in local, state and private sector preparedness in the last six years as well as suggesting areas that need additional effort.
