Was your home built before the 1980s on a raised foundation with a crawl space?
Poukisa sa enpòtan: Older raised-foundation homes are often not bolted down and have unbraced cripple walls.
Does your home have a garage or open space under living rooms (a 'soft story')?
Poukisa sa enpòtan: A weak open ground floor can collapse sideways in a strong quake.
Do you live in an earthquake, hurricane, or high-wind region?
Poukisa sa enpòtan: Where the hazard is higher, retrofitting matters more — and grants are more likely.
Do you have an unreinforced masonry chimney or an unstrapped water heater?
Poukisa sa enpòtan: These are cheap to brace and prevent fire, gas leaks, and falling-debris injuries.
Has your home never had a structural retrofit or seismic upgrade?
Poukisa sa enpòtan: If no one has bolted, braced, or tied it down, the original weak points are still there.
