The Southern California Catastrophic Earthquake Plan Survey was approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and was sent to hospitals along the San Andreas Fault by local emergency agencies. The survey was aimed at speeding post-earthquake recovery efforts.

A spokeswoman told Daily News Los Angeles that Kaiser Permanente had concerns about the format of the survey and the amount of details being asked.
