	AGU Web Site: Kobe Earthquake: An Urban Disaster
		The Hyogo Prefectural Government estimated the cost of restoring basic functions to be about $100 billion dollars; the total losses including losses of privately owned property and reduction in business activity may be twice this amount, which would be 10 times higher than losses resulting from the 1994 Northridge, Calif., earthquake.
		Kobe is located on a narrow strip of land between Osaka Bay to the southeast and the Rokko mountains to the northwest.
		Currently available evidence does not suggest any difference between the source characteristics of the Kobe earthquake and those of crustal earthquakes that occur in California, and our preliminary evaluation of the ground motions from the Kobe earthquake indicate that they were comparable to those we would expect from a California earthquake of the same magnitude.
