Understanding the Hazards in Your Area When Preparing for an Earthquake

Securing Your Soft Story Building

Soft Story Building

Earthquakes are unpredictable, but there are steps you can take to minimize the risk and ensure your home is prepared, especially if you live in a soft-story building. Soft-story buildings, with their open ground floors and heavy upper floors, are particularly vulnerable to seismic activity. Knowing the risks in your area and fortifying your home can make all the difference when the ground shakes.

Understand the Hazards in Your Area

The first step in preparing for an earthquake is understanding the seismic risk in your region. Some areas are more prone to earthquakes than others, and soft-story buildings are especially susceptible to damage. Knowing the history of earthquakes in your area and identifying potential hazards like soil type, fault lines, and building age is crucial for taking preventative action.
