Assessing and implementing structural interventions for schools in China

This case study explores how China intervened with national seismic assessments of school buildings and prioritisation of retrofitting and construction to reduce the risk of earthquake-related injury and death in schools. This case study is part of a series of case studies documenting how countries have been developing and implementing Comprehensive School Safety (CSS) policies that address the three CSS pillars: safer learning facilities (pillar 1), school disaster management (pillar 2), and risk reduction and resilience education (pillar 3).
