I visited several structures in Bucharest to view earthquake vulnerabilities.

Bucharest’s seismic vulnerability requires increased planning and investment to strengthen resilience. [2/2]

[David Malpass @DavidRMalpass]

Good talks in Bucharest with State Secretary Dr. Raed Arafat, civil society representatives & academia.
