Seismic Compliance Data By County for General Acute Care Hospitals

Data for seismic compliance in general acute care hospitals is grouped by counties. All general acute care hospital buildings are assigned a Structural Performance Category (SPC) which measures the probable seismic performance of building structural systems. Building structural systems include beams, columns, shear walls, slabs, and foundations. SPC ratings range from 1 to 5 with SPC 1 assigned to buildings that may be at risk of collapse during a strong earthquake and SPC 5 assigned to buildings reasonably capable of providing services to the public following a strong earthquake. State law requires all SPC 1 buildings to be removed from providing general acute care services by January 1, 2020, unless an approved extension has been granted, and all SPC 2 buildings to be removed from providing general acute care services by January 1, 2030. A hospital facility meets the January 1, 2030 requirements if all the general acute care buildings on campus are SPC and NPC compliant. 2030 compliant SPC ratings are either SPC 3, 4, 4D, or 5. 2030 compliant NPC ratings is NPC 5. Data is provided for both hospital facilities and hospital buildings. Data is updated approximately every two weeks.
