～～『色Evaluate the seismic capacity of your house

Put emergency goods
in a backpack to carry.

λIs your house major earthquake resistant? Check the following points to evaluate your own house. If any one of them gives you concern,
have a professional evaluation.
口Has it been constructed prior to the end of May, 1981 ?
σhe present earthquake resistance standard based on the BuildingStandard Act was introduced on June 1, 1981.)
口Has it been damaged by the past earthquakes?
口Has it been built on reclaimed land, banked location
developed on a slough, or land with liquefaction risk?
口If wooden housing, is the foundation made of reinforced
concrete and well-integrated with the baseof the building?
口Does it have a complex shape with many unevensurfaces or a large vaulted ceiling?

21In order to make an earthquake vulnerable house earthquake-resistant, either rebuilding orseismic retrofitting will be necessary. Be sure to conduct a seismic capacity evaluation prior
to seismic retrofitting.
(1) Seismic capacity evaluation……目Commission an architect to inspect the drawing and the actual site of the house tocheck where the weak points are(2) Seismic retrofitting plan
After determining weak points through seismic capacity evaluation, draw a plan for
the retrofitting work. Have the architect explain the design contents, such as
reinforcement of the fou「1dation and walls, or replacing the roof to lighter material
Other than the retrofitting work to strengthen the seismic capacity of the house,
there are simpler modifications such as placing ‘＇ aseismatic shelter" or “disasterprevention bed” that are capable of protecting residents(3) Seismic retrofitting work
Commission a construction company or building contractors to pe斤orm work basedon the architect’ s design. Ask the architect to take part in the work as a supervisor
and check if the wo欣is being done acco「ding to the plansIlI
