| dc.description | This report focuses solely on the pre-1978 masonry building stock of Prescott. These are buildings likely to lack rebar or other forms of reinforcement to enhance stability and improve performance in the face of surface seismic waves. The Yavapai County Assessor’s Office shared building stock data for buildings constructed prior to 1978 for the City of Prescott. We identified about 1,400 pre-1978 commercial, residential, and private/public masonry buildings (K-20 schools, churches, theaters, and more). Results of this report should assist City of Prescott authorities and the public in understanding the scope of unreinforced masonry buildings (URM). This in turn, could fuel a concerted effort to explore funding opportunities, e.g., FEMA’s Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities, to prioritize seismic retrofit or replacement of schools, churches, theaters, and other public gathering sites at high risk from ground shaking. A definitive assessment of URM stock in Prescott requires a physical survey of older masonry buildings by trained structural or civil engineers. We conclude with recommendations to the City of Prescott and Yavapai County for mitigating risk from older masonry buildings. | en_US |
