Venezuela, The Built Environment And Lessons of a Catastrophic Earthquake

Venezuela, The Built Environment And Lessons of a Catastrophic Earthquake

This week we focus on the tragic catastrophe in Venezuela, where powerful earthquakes tore along the San Sebastián fault and devastated Caracas. As a result, buildings collapsed, the airport shut down, and the death toll climbed.
And a fragile country recently facing its own political upheaval was left asking how this could happen on a fault everyone knew was dangerous.
My guest is Ziggy Lubkowski, earthquake engineer and Arup's global seismic expert. Arup is a global engineering and design consultancy, and Ziggy has spent nearly forty years studying the built environment—why some buildings stand and others fall—from Indonesia to Turkey to California.
We talk about what really drives the damage, why early loss estimates swing by billions, and the one earthquake-risk investment that pays back six to one.
