📢 Smart public policies can prevent earthquake disasters.
Most earthquake casualties result from damage to buildings and infrastructure.
Here's how authorities can protect people from unsafe buildings:
🏢 Build for the future – with stronger building codes and retrofitting older structures.
👷♀️ Invest in skills and capacity – equip engineers, architects and builders.
🎓 Learn from every disaster – so we don't make the same mistakes again.
🛟 Foster a culture of preparedness – with education, awareness, and drills.
🕯️ On 29 April, International Day in Memory of the Victims of Earthquakes, we honour the memory of those lost to earthquakes by protecting those they leave behind.
Remember. Protect. Build disaster resilience.
