We need to educate public about the seismic risks. Life safety/collapse prevention is the basic goal of seismic codes and should be ensured. (Video credit: @ihacomtr) – at Virginia, USA
A human tragedy. Once more the toll of natural disasters is disproportionate for regions of lower income and lack of code enforcement and quality control. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Turkey and Syria
Huge earthquake in south-east Turkey kills more than 100 people in Turkey and Syria

A resilient city is a risk-proofed city. Urbanization done well can create an environment where everyone can thrive.

Seismic code compliance and strengthning of sub-standard buildings can prevent collapse during strong earthquakes (such that of M6.9 in Taiwan). Unfortunately, the problem is not scientific; this is solved to a great extent. It is financial. #TaiwanEarthquake

I am very thankful and respectful to the people who developed and disseminated the technology of seismic isolation. The only noticeable change in my office before and after the quake is the half-opened drawer.
