Each year, more than 100 earthquakes measuring 3.0 or more on the Richter scale are felt across Australia, with the majority affecting Western Australia—more than X since 1900. Many of these earthquakes are focused around York. Despite the prevalence of earthquakes in the region, the risks have not consistently been recognised during building design and construction. This means many buildings - particularly older masonry buildings - are susceptible to damage from earthquakes. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[115.2316, -34.9845], [118.3007, -34.9845], [118.3007, -32.0219], [115.2316, -32.0219], [115.2316, -34.9845]]]} 115.2316 118.3007 -34.9845 -32.0219 EARTH SCIENCES Earthquake Mitigation Published_External Unreinforced masonry Download Flyer (pdf) [3.1 MB] documentDigital Download Flyer (pdf) [3.1 MB] HTML
