San Francisco Earthquake 1989




Prevention, Protection and Management



Even at the time of the quake areas were known to be at risk and not protected, as a results most these areas suffered greatly. Any destruction which occurred in these areas were a result of bad planning as the areas were known to be at risk and had suffered in the past, none of the existing structures were not conveyed which meant that any lasting damge from previous quakes went undetected and newer buldings were not neccesarily earthquake resistant adding to the danger and destruction. even after all the damage which was caused there is no state law to make buildings safer and it is clear to see that each time an earthquake occurs that damage will remain high until something is done.
