dc.description	Tucson resides in Arizona’s tectonically active Basin and Range Province, where infrequent moderate- to large-magnitude earthquakes are capable of damaging homes, buildings, and infrastructure, injuring thousands and killing hundreds. The City of Tucson building stock includes more than 83,000 unreinforced or lightly reinforced masonry buildings that lack the ability to withstand moderate to strong ground-shaking that would accompany moderate to large-magnitude earthquakes on faults in the region. Preparing for the next damaging earthquake requires assessing and prioritizing which buildings should be retrofitted, such as schools, churches, and theaters, among other sites. Because most of Tucson’s masonry buildings are single- or multi-family homes, civil authorities should pursue a campaign to inform citizens how to prepare their families and their homes in the event of a damaging earthquake. Recommendations for addressing Tucson’s unreinforced masonry buildings are enumerated in the conclusion of this report, and are based in part, on mitigation activities pioneered in Utah, California, Oregon, Washington.	en_US
