Bogotá school seismic safety review lags 26 years behind

Bogotá is reassessing the seismic resilience of its school buildings, whose structural diagnoses are 26 years old. The review aims to identify which facilities need priority reinforcement, but the age of the data suggests significant uncertainty about current safety levels. This matters because a major earthquake could expose thousands of students to structural risk, and the city's infrastructure planning must account for outdated assessments.
