Are you a commercial tenant or do you work with tenants? New resource for commercial building tenants! While no building can be truly "earthquake-proof", some are designed to withstand the force of earthquakes better than others. Commercial tenants are in a really great position to seek out and demand buildings that will provide the seismic performance that is right for their business. Things that tenants should be thinking about when reviewing current or potential future leases include: - Expected life safety performance - Potential for business disruption (both due to structural and non-structural damage) - Potential damage to building fitout. - Disruption due to neighbouring buildings, loss of infrastructure and secondary hazards (like landslides or flooding, to understand overall risk to your building and its use). Understanding these factors and asking the right questions can help tenants ensure their business is prepared for seismic events. Thanks to MBIE and BRANZ for funding this work and making the resource possible. https://lnkd.in/gpadXMne
