Earthquakes in Switzerland carry a significant potential for catastrophic impacts. Over recent decades, attention to reducing earthquake risk has increased. Nevertheless, about half of the existing building stock in Switzerland dates from before the introduction of the first earthquake regulations. As a result, many existing buildings either do not meet current earthquake standards or it is unclear whether they are sufficiently earthquake-resistant.

We are proud to participate in such initiatives to raise awareness about the earthquake safety of buildings in Switzerland.
