From page 64...
... If this approach were to be tried, the data bank and computer software must be maintained in an active condition outside aD potentially affected areas. In addition, the crudeness of loss estimates based on the best of today's technology must be kept in mind.

From page 65...
... recommends that low priority be given to developing approaches that rely on projections rather than on field reconnaissance and actual damage reports after earthquakes.
