Assessment of school buildings for seismic vulnerability

Authorities are launching a comprehensive assessment of approximately 8,000 educational infrastructures to determine their vulnerability in the event of an earthquake. The initiative specifically targets about 6,000 school facilities that were constructed prior to the implementation of the current seismic code.

Many of the targeted buildings were erected without prior soil studies, raising potential safety concerns regarding their structural integrity. This large-scale evaluation aims to identify seismic risks across these older educational structures.
