ABSTRACT Fatigue is a significant risk to personnel as we respond to emergencies at all hours of the day and night. Because of this risk, major safety issues are often overlooked and there is the potential for fatigue related accidents that arise from preventable circumstances. Studies on fatigue in the emergency response environment, for all risks and all incidents, particularly hazardous material response, have been limited. The purpose of this paper is to provide three National Strike Force-Pacific Strike Team (NSF-PST) case studies when fatigue was notably a problem, discuss some of the physiological impacts of fatigue in the workplace, share field testing results of a draft NSF work/rest guideline, and make the environmental safety field aware of the problem to prompt formal studies.

This study assesses the relative efficacy of liquefaction models based on geospatial vs. geotechnical data. In particular, state-of-practice geotechnical models based on the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) are compared to geospatial models that use readily available no-cost data. This assessment is performed using a database of 9,623 liquefaction case studies compiled from the 2010-2016 Canterbury, New Zealand, Earthquakes. While the top-performing model is CPT-based, the geospatial models perform surprisingly well given their simplicity. In particular, a region-specific geospatial model out-performs some CPT-based methods. While further research is needed, the presented findings are provocative considering the relative cost and complexity of the geotechnical models. Accordingly, performance assessments of geospatial vs. geotechnical models are ongoing for more than 20 additional earthquakes.

Special Case

This paper describes a particular strategy and method of field testing or evaluation: administrative experimentation. The method is first defined in terms of its relation to other methods, and its potential strengths and limitations. Second, the method itself is described in some detail. Finally, case studies of its use are presented to provide a basis for evaluating the usefulness of the method.
