Paper Summary

The researchers quickly checked old buildings in Algiers to see which ones might be at risk during an earthquake. They looked at the outside of the buildings and used a special method to figure out how likely they were to get damaged in a quake. The results can help make plans to make the buildings safer in case of an earthquake.
