Description

Unreinforced Masonry (URM) buildings are predictable collapse hazards in an earthquake due to their lack of structural reinforcements. Seattle has spent over a decade developing an inventory of its 1,100 URM buildings, establishing a minimum standard for retrofit compliance, and strategizing how to balance the public safety element of retrofits with historic preservation and affordable housing. Join Seattle's URM team as they discuss the technical and political considerations of the URM retrofit standard and the progress towards increasing Seattle’s seismic resilience.
