Non-structural vulnerability assessment of buildings and advice on mitigation
Significant numbers of casualties occur from objects falling or toppling within the home, office or public buildings. By reviewing the contents of buildings and their disposition within each room, the overall vulnerability of the occupants of that building can be reduced substantially. This has the benefit of reducing the number and severity of casualties, decreasing avoidable internal damage to buildings, and increasing the speed by which a community returns to a sense of post-earthquake normality.
