Earthquake preparedness starts with the quality of the structures. So I found it interesting to look at the web site for our apartment. Part of one web page is reproduced above. One noticeable feature is the entry in the table: "Structure. Steel frame and reinforced concrete structure". That should perform ok in an earthquake. I don't know if this information is placed on the web by popular demand, or by some requirement. But it is valuable information. It should be this easy for everyone to find out about how their homes and offices are constructed.
