Lewis Community Center in Rancho Cucamonga to participate in the San Bernardino County Responders Organized for Pass Emergencies (ROPE) Table Top Exercise created by San Bernardino County Fire Department Office of Emergency Services and the ROPE Committee. The exercise scenario addressed the challenges of accessing the Cajon Pass after a 7.8 earthquake. With the San Andreas Fault cutting through southwestern San Bernardino County, which houses some of the most densely populated areas in the region, the likelihood of post-earthquake challenges in the Cajon Pass are evident. Due to the fact that the Cajon Pass incorporates a major transportation corridor (Interstate 15), rail, and utility resources; infrastructure coordinated operations are essential to the response and recovery of San Bernardino County and the Southern California region. The exercise focused on Incident Command objectives and priorities, Operational Communications and Operational Coordination, including strategic areas north and south of the Cajon Pass to facilitate emergency responses, along with analyzing any gaps within the ROPE planning process. At the conclusion of the exercise more than 100 participants now feel prepared to respond to an incident within the Cajon Pass using the newly established draft ROPE Standard Operating Guidelines (SOG) and the draft ROPE Field Operations Guide (FOG) for all-hazards.

There are currently 19 National Historic Trails in the United States. In 1968, the National Trails System Act, which is intended to provide for the outdoor recreation needs of the public, opened the door to federal involvement in all types of trails. Today, the Bureau of Land Management, along with the National Park Service and National Forest Service, are responsible for the administration and management of National Historic Trails.

Where a study mentions the SoSAFE Scenario or San Andreas U.S. Geological Survey Circular 1324 Fault Scenario, it refers to what is now named the ShakeOut Scenario. California Geological Survey Special Report 207 version 1.0 M7.8 Southern San Andreas Fault Earthquake Scenario: Oil and Gas Pipelines Donald Ballantyne, MMI Engineering, 206‐226‐7496, [email protected] Physical and Operational Impacts of Pipeline Failures There is a long record of oil and gas transmission pipeline failures in California earthquakes due to ground shaking and liquefaction. The large majority of these have been joint failures where the joints were constructed using oxy‐acetylene welds installed prior to approximately 1930. Pipelines constructed using electric arc welding (post‐1930) have performed much better. There has been only limited mixed experience of modern pipeline performance at fault crossings. In the 1994 Northridge earthquake, there were 209 repairs required to metallic distribution lines, and 27 to polyethylene lines. There were 35 non‐corrosion –related transmission pipeline repairs of which 27 occurred on pipe joint with oxy‐acetylene girth welds in pre‐1930 pipelines. At one of those failures, gas leaked from a failed 56‐cm line on Balboa Boulevard and was ignited by the ignition system on a nearby truck (T.
