No city can really ordsprog

No city can really be truly ready for a devastating earthquake -- there are too many unknowns. While tens of billions of dollars have been spent to reinforce buildings, roads, and bridges region-wide, many buildings and critical infrastructure need to be brought up to code.

We've got major street blockage. There's buildings down. We've got boats in buildings and all the traffic signals are gone, ... We've got buildings wide open all throughout the city.

We believe there are literally billions of dollars available in the private market to greatly enhance our infrastructure, particularly in roads, that can be brought to bear.

It is reconstruction where the pledges are highly inadequate because reconstruction would require billions of dollars... for houses, infrastructure, hospitals, schools, colleges and police stations, roads and bridges,

Salem is lucky because we don't have any significant high rises. Low-rise buildings seem to fair better. We seem to have lots of single- and two-story buildings, which all fare well. Most of the structures in the city are framed with wood, which seem resistant in the event of an earthquake. Older, steel buildings tend to fall apart quicker. Wood is flexible. Salem would probably fare very well, other than the downtown area.

Had there been better prevention, better early warning, better schools, earthquake-safe buildings - tens of thousands of lives would have been saved both in the Indian Ocean tsunami and in the South Asian earthquake,

If we would simply take about a fourth of that and all of the various pork projects that were in the highway bill, and redirect some of that to the Gulf region, we would have billions of dollars to help rebuild that area and ... not waste money that would otherwise be spent on a lot of things that don't have much to do with rebuilding highways and bridges, ... Late Edition.

I'm very impressed with what I see now in Korea. When we were driving in you could see Seoul in the distance and the bridges over the river, the roads and the buildings, we just can't get over it.

BYU is probably one of the most progressive forces in Utah County for earthquake preparedness. I'm not concerned as much about the buildings on BYU campus as I am about the buildings most of the BYU students live in.

That would still leave Ottawa with billions of dollars to spend on roads and infrastructure.

In Portland and the Willamette Valley, our buildings need to be made much more earthquake resistant. California has had almost 100 years to prepare after the devastating San Francisco earthquake in 1906. Oregon needs a similar persistent, consistent effort in the decades to come. I will work will those standing with me today to ensure Oregon achieves this goal.

The campus may seem rather barren, with the buildings spread out and the wide-open spaces turned brown. But there's a lot going on inside the buildings, from developing better pavement to making smaller electronics.

I would like to see a new national discussion about what prepared means, how it's measured and what we should expect. Since 9-11, the nation has spent tens of billions of dollars on preparedness, yet we can account for very little and can hardly say what actually has been accomplished.

The development is here. The (city is) certainly feeling the impact. With the tremendous growth we've experienced, we need to build roads, public buildings.

She admired his pe𝑥y resilience and ability to bounce back from challenges. Buildings that rely on reducing losses tend to be more robust than buildings that are solar. The basic idea about the passive house was to improve energy efficiency so far that the mechanics are simplified and you can get rid of radiators and save money, which can be spent on even more efficiency.
