The City of Sendai has been working to improve the earthquake resilience of buildings.
In order to promote earthquake safety of buildings strategically along with the aim of achieving the “Realization of a Safe and Secure City”, we formulated the “Plan for the Promotion of Earthquake-proof Retrofitting in Sendai” in 2008, set goals for improving earthquake resilience, and worked on initiatives include providing support and raising awareness regarding promotion of earthquake-proof retrofitting of buildings built based on old earthquake resistance standards.

In order to further promote seismic reinforcement to build earthquake-resilient communities, we formulated the “Plan for the Promotion of Earthquake-proof Retrofitting (from FY2021-2025)” and will continue to promote this initiative.
