Hi Jan,  http://peer.berkeley.edu/pdf/Senate_testimonial-8-07.pdf

That's a good question. I did not find the answer but this link contains a
report about earthquake safety in the Bay area and is worth a read.

I was asked today by a friend who wants to know more about how the
Railroads, BART, Amusement Parks and others make the determination of when
they have to shut down and check tracks etc. after an earthquake. He said
there was some sort of formula that says if a X.X magnitude earthquake
occurs within Y miles... they have to shut down and check.  Anyone know
anything about this?
