In Nepal, over 700,000 buildings were damaged in a single earthquake. In Venezuela, 58,000 buildings were affected in June 2026. The scale of loss in developing countries is not shrinking. Yet engineers have long been responsible for designing buildings that meet seismic codes, while most buildings in these regions are never touched by formal engineering systems at all.
It is time to rethink what seismic safety actually means at scale. Dr. Bothara shares a framework built from real-world observation across these contexts. By analyzing the coverage–design prescription trade-off, he presents Population-Calibrated Seismic Safety as a practical decision-making lens.
