SPA Principal Charles Scawthorn is leading the development of a White Paper for the California Seismic Safety Commission that will qualitatively review the current status of emergency water supply in California vis-à-vis fire following earthquake, and provide a series of recommendations for improvements if/where needed. The White Paper is being developed in collaboration with the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) of the University of California at Berkeley, where Scawthorn is a Visting Scholar.
