The Construction Chamber of Monagas has established a commission to review buildings and mitigate risks associated with earthquakes. The commission will include representatives from the College of Engineers and will focus on evaluating existing structures for seismic vulnerability. A key goal is to encourage the use of certified construction materials, not just within Monagas state but nationwide. This initiative aims to enhance building safety standards and preparedness in the face of potential seismic events. By promoting certified materials and thorough inspections, the chamber hopes to minimize potential damage and protect lives. The commission’s work is a proactive measure to address earthquake risks and improve construction practices across Venezuela. This development was reported by EL NACIONAL.
