This book places Oakland's public policy response (nine major
ordinances) to building damage suffered in the 1989 Loma Prieta
earthquake in a full historical and intergovernmental context.
Using a combined non-decision making and advocacy coalition
approach, the book demonstrates how and why hazardous-structure
abatement was kept off the local political agenda prior to the Loma
Prieta disaster. The book then demonstrates how and why city
government in Oakland became proactive on the problem of
earthquake-damaged and, more importantly, earthquake-vulnerable
buildings in general after the disaster.
