The lowest execution rate of strengthening buildings against an earthquake is found precisely in the cities that are at the highest risk. In practice only about 2,852 buildings were strengthened in the whole country, equal to about 3.6% of the buildings that require it.
In the peripheral areas closer to the risk of an earthquake only less than one percent (715 buildings) were strengthened. The great failure of TMA 38: the people who need MMD the most did not receive it - voila! Real estate.
