2021 EERI Annual Meeting:
This session will present three activities that aim to provide increased seismic safety at schools with strategies that can be implemented at scale: (1) the recently completed ATC-148 project funded by the World Bank developed a methodology for seismic risk based prioritization of school buildings in Kyrgyz Republic that allows the decision makers commit limited available funds to schools with the highest benefit in terms of lives saved; (2) the World Bank has published a Roadmap for Safer and Resilient Schools with a focus on design of intervention strategies and investment plans to make schools safer and resilient at scale; (3) a clearly recognized seismic risk reduction activity with high benefit-cost value is the reduction of nonstructural vulnerabilities in school buildings and a newly available training from FEMA is aimed specifically at school facilities staff, administrators, and teachers.
