Mayor Garcetti and the LA City Council have enacted the nation’s toughest earthquake retrofit ordinance. Their vision and leadership will prove indispensable in making certain that the Los Angeles basin will survive the next major earthquake. This ordinance will ensure a significant reduction in loss of lives and prevent economic collapse.

An estimated 13,500 soft-first-story buildings, which are typically wood-frame structures with large spaces such as parking lots on the ground floor will need to be retrofitted. As many as 1,500 brittle concrete buildings will also require upgrades.

After the Loma Prieta earthquake is San Francisco, it took:

4 DAYS Before Mutual Aid/OES Inspectors started inspections
14 DAYS For San Francisco & Mutual Aid inspectors to inspect all major buildings
SEVERAL MONTHS To inspect ALL buildings.
AVERAGE OF 21 DAYS For Owners to find & engage a Structural Engineer
MANY MONTHS For follow-up decisions & actions on 360 Red-tagged buildings.

Lack of preparation endangers lives and leads to business losses
& interruption with devastating costs.

What can you do to minimize your exposure?

Prepare yourself and your facility to ensure that your buildings are assessed immediately after an event by initiating a back to business (B2B) plan, or a Building Occupancy Resumption Plan (BORP).
