Earthquake mitigation: the Federal Government continues its program of measures

The earthquake preparedness in Switzerland should be further improved. The Federal Council has defined the focus areas in the program of measures for earthquake mitigation for the period 2013 to 2016. One element is the renewal of the strong motion network. In the now approved second stage of the project, the Swiss Seismological Service (SED) will install 70 additional stations until 2018.
