The principal objective of the National Earthquake Strategy and Action Plan 2012-2023 is to constitute new earthquake-resistant, safe, well prepared and sustainable settlements so that physical, economic, social, environmental and political harms and losses that may be engendered by earthquakes are prevented, or their effects reduced. The Plan is divided into 7 objectives. Objective A.1: Enhancement of the Earthquake Information Base states that the underlying support for development, enhancement, sustainability and accessibility by the public of the earthquake information basis is an essential part of loss reduction activities. The determination and evaluation of the earthquake hazard at country, region or local scales hinge on the operation of continuously and effectively operated monitoring and recording systems that enable coordinated multidisciplinary research in earth sciences. Objective A.2: Earthquake Hazard Analysis and Revision of Hazard Maps. Objective B.1: The Realization of Earthquake Safe Settlements and Earthquake Resistant Construction. Objective B.2: Protection of the Historic and Cultural Heritage from Earthquakes. Objective C.1: Public Education on Earthquakes and Other Disasters and Cultivation of Activities for Social Awareness. The primary public education objective in becoming aware of disasters, reduction of disaster losses, disaster preparedness and intervention must consist of reaching a consensus among the highest level disaster managers and decision makers, promoting public consciousness and developing education. Objective C.2: Realization of Legislation Reforms for an Integrated and Effective Earthquake Strategy. Objective C.3: Capacity Building for Rapid, Effective and Timely Intervention in Earthquakes and other Disasters.
