Slide 46 of 48
Notes:
- There are no earthquake-proof buildings.
- Seismic retrofit of wood frame buildings does not guarantee that the building won't be damaged during the next earthquake.
- Earthquake repairs produce a building that will protect occupants.
- Work done correctly should reduce the seismic damage that a similar house would experience
- The building and its contents may still be substantially damaged.
- Make all of this clear to the owner at the beginning of the project!
