TO ACHIEVE THESE GOALS, THE PROJECT TEAM TRAVELED TO 11 CITIES IN SEVEN COUNTRIES (BHUTAN, INDIA, INDONESIA, NEW ZEALAND, PERU, TURKEY, AND THE UNITED STATES) TO INTERVIEW MORE THAN 130 GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, SCHOOL AND HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATORS, AND BUSINESS AND NONPROFIT LEADERS WORKING ON EARTHQUAKE SAFETY IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. THE PROJECT TEAM ANALYZED THE RESPONSES FROM THESE INTERVIEWS AND ORGANIZED THE FINDINGS INTO THREE CATEGORIES: EXISTING EARTHQUAKE RISK REDUCTION PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES; EARTHQUAKE RISK REDUCTION RESOURCE NEEDS; AND BARRIERS TO IMPLEMENTING RISK REDUCTION ACTIVITIES. THE PROJECT TEAM THEN DRAFTED A SERIES OF RECOMMENDATIONS, WHICH WERE MEANT TO TURN THE FINDINGS INTO ACTIONABLE STEPS THAT GEM COULD TAKE TO SUPPORT EARTHQUAKE PRACTITIONERS IN SEISMICALLY PRONE COMMUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD. 144246 142974 EARTHQUAKE SAFETY IN APEC ECONOMIES:GHI AND THE WORLD BLANK'S GLOBAL FACILITY FOR DISASTER REDUCTION AND RECOVERY (GFDRR) HAVE FORMED A PARTNERSHIP TO IMPROVE SCHOOL AND HOSPITAL EARTHQUAKE SAFETY IN SOUTH ASIA.

THEY ARE OFTEN MADE OF ADOBE, A CONSTRUCTION TYPE KNOWN FOR UNDERGOING SUDDEN AND CATASTROPHIC COLLAPSE IN EARTHQUAKES.DURING THE PROJECT TEACHERS IN CHOCOS WERE TRAINED TO EXPLAIN EARTHQUAKE RISK AND PREPAREDNESS TECHNIQUES TO STUDENTS AND THE WIDER COMMUNITY, AND LOCAL BUILDERS WILL BE TAUGHT EARTHQUAKE-RESISTANT CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES. THE PROJECT EMPHASIZES SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH LOCAL COLLABORATION, TRAINING, AND AWARENESS-RAISING. THE RETROFIT PLAN WAS DESIGNED TO BE LOCALLY APPROPRIATE AND AS COST-EFFECTIVE AS POSSIBLE.
