undefined. Learning from the Past: Enhancing Building Safety in Earthquake-Prone Areas.
[Audio] Building safety in earthquake-prone areas is essential to enhance our chances of survival in future disasters. While earthquakes can't be predicted they can be prepared for. We need to learn from our mistakes and improve our safety measures to minimize the risks and enhance our chances of survival. Discussing the importance of building safety in earthquake-prone areas..
[Audio] Discussing the importance of building safety in earthquake-prone areas. It's crucial that we take urgent and calm actions to ensure the safety of our communities in the event of a disaster. We must learn from past disasters and implement measures to enhance safety in future earthquakes. The time for action is now!.
[Audio] Building safety is crucial for mitigating the devastating impact of earthquakes on communities. A critical component of building safety is evaluation which involves assessing the strength and resilience of structures and infrastructure to withstand earthquake forces. Transparency is also important in building safety as it entails being open and honest about earthquake risks and taking steps to mitigate them. Collaboration is key in promoting evaluation and transparency to build a safer and more resilient future for our communities..
[Audio] We are focused on evaluating our current infrastructure and residential buildings against seismic actions. This evaluation will help us identify potential weaknesses and take steps to strengthen them before the next earthquake strikes. By doing so we can protect our buildings and structures save lives and reduce the economic impact of future disasters. Additionally we can learn from past disasters to enhance our safety measures and be better prepared for future earthquakes..
[Audio] Practical measures such as furniture decorations electrical wiring and hazardous materials should be considered. An emergency survival kit with essential items like first aid supplies batteries dry food and other items is critical. Stay calm during an earthquake and avoid panic as only 15-30 seconds can make a big difference. If indoors stay inside and take shelter to minimize the risk of injury. If driving stop after an accident and assess the situation to prevent further accidents and keep everyone safe. By being prepared and staying calm you can help to reduce the impact of earthquakes..
[Audio] Building safety in earthquake-prone areas is crucial. We emphasized the importance of learning from past disasters to enhance safety in future earthquakes. The importance of transparency in the design process cannot be overstated. New projects must make their calculations and considerations available for checking including the use of seismic design codes and soft-storey limitation. Ensuring transparency in the design process can help to prevent future disasters and ensure the safety of our communities..
[Audio] Building safety in earthquake-prone areas is crucial for ensuring the safety and well-being of people and communities. We need to invest in building structures and engineering techniques that can withstand earthquakes save lives and accommodate the needs of all people. It may seem like a lot of money but it is a small investment compared to the cost of disaster relief and the lives that can be saved. We also want to emphasize that building safety is not just about the structure of the building itself. It is also about the people who will be using the building. We need to design buildings that can accommodate the needs of people with disabilities and ensure that they have access to safe and secure spaces during an earthquake. Building safety in earthquake-prone areas is essential for ensuring the safety and well-being of people and communities. We need to invest in building structures and engineering techniques and design buildings that can accommodate the needs of all people. It is only through a combined effort that we can hope to prevent future disasters and save lives..
