After years of delay, retrofitting and rebuilding, more than 90 percent of California’s acute care hospital buildings are no longer at risk of collapse during an earthquake, according to an article on the KQED website.
The remaining hospitals still need to meet California's seismic safety requirements, or close buildings that are not up to standard by 2030, according to the most recent data from the state’s Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD).
Buildings at six rural critical access hospitals remain on the state’s list of structures most likely to collapse in an earthquake.
About 251 buildings are still rated “SPC-1,” the highest risk category — down from more than 1,000 in 2001.
