LA Mayor Wants L.A. Buildings to be Graded for Earthquake Safety
LA Mayor Eric Garcetti wants buildings across Los Angeles to be graded for their seismic safety.
Garcetti announced what would be the nation’s first seismic safety grading system for buildings during his State of the City address, when he also for the first time said he supports some type of mandatory retrofitting of older buildings that have a risk of collapse in a major earthquake, said the LA Times.
