If you have trouble getting in, send Fred and email at FredTurnerSE@gmail.com This map will be updated with a few notes and more points from the field visit and possibly more links in a few days. In addition, Fred posted a few images on the EERI map site. If others can visit the following locations that would be helpful:
– El Centro Water Treatment Plant – damage to tank roofs reported.
– El Centro Waste Water Treatment Plant.
– Holtville Water Treatment Plant – damage to tank roofs reported.
The cluster of open front/potential soft story apartment complexes arrayed around the alleys off Cottonwood Circle south of Ocotillo Drive, north of I8, and west of S. Imperial Ave. Only one appears to be severely damaged. A more systematic survey of downtown to identify those URM’s previously retrofitted, fully (5 out of 49 as of 2006) or partially (20 out of 49 as of 2006). Thanks, Fred
