We just got our state capitol building up to renovations. All the government buildings are slowly getting there. But most homes in the city are nowhere near where they should be and it's because they were all built prior to the 60s.
We have a lot of brick homes here. I live in a brick home. Brick is one of the worst.
Luckily, the threat isn't as major as California. But I believe they said there is a 50% (or growing) that the Big One (7.0 or greater) will hit Salt Lake in the next 50 years (and that was back in the 90s, so...yeah).
