SR463 Managing earthquake-prone council buildings: Balancing life safety risks and community costs (2021)

Product Description

This research aimed to better understand how territorial authorities currently make occupancy decisions related to earthquake-prone buildings and how they could do this better. In doing so, we combined legal, engineering, risk management and behavioural theory to co-design a decision process aimed at supporting territorial authorities to make robust building occupancy decisions.
