Abstract (in English)

Earthquakes are different in degree from most other disasters in their capacity to kill almost instantaneously due to lack of warning and in their extensive damage to cultural property often augmented by fire, looting and water damage. Administrators, by taking steps for disaster preparedness can reduce the damage that occurs in an earthquake and this means saving lives. By rapid decissions after an earthquake they can save historic buildings from the ravages of the weather which can more than treble the initial damage.
