"In my Resilience by Design Plan, I called for a seismic safety rating system that would help our city not only survive a large earthquake, but better protect our residents and their property, USRC's system answers that call. This measure will make all Angelenos safer by establishing a clear, transparent, and credible assessment of individual buildings' seismic readiness. It also incentivizes lenders and property owners to invest in top-notch structures that will stay standing after an earthquake. "
Los Angeles Mayor, Eric Garcetti
