About the California Building Codes & Earthquakes
On February 9, 1971 an earthquake hit the San Fernando Valley, just north of Los Angeles. It registered a 6.4 on the Richter scale, but had a seismic moment of 6.7, and did tremendous damage to the area. 58 people were killed and 2,543 were suffered injuries. Two major hospitals were destroyed and four freeways and overpasses collapsed. The State of California decided after that earthquake to make significant enhancements to its building codes pertaining to earthquakes. In Los Angeles, the Sylmar Quake led to the passage of an ordinance that required retrofitting of more than 8,000 unreinforced masonry buildings with the greatest risk of collapse.
