Managing earthquake risk: unreinforced masonry building database

Earthquakes globally have highlighted the risk older buildings with unreinforced masonry pose. Low seismicity areas such as Australia have not been an exception. 

This project will develop a national database of unreinforced masonry buildings through new technology and techniques to better understand and mitigate earthquake risk.   

The database will underpin intelligence services to decision makers for effective and timely response recovery, and to support enhanced earthquake risk-based planning.
