Using modal velocities to evaluate surface averaged velocity of a flexible body

I have a flexible housing undergoing vibrations from the internal components. For each mode , i do have a modal velocity from this time domain simulation. I would like to use this information for evaluating Equivalent radiated power in decibels or Surface vibration velocity. But i see the units of modal velocity is 1/s. Is this a correct approach to square this value and multiply by housing surface area to get radiated power in decibels ?
Any suggestions would be helpful
