Ghana must position itself through enforcement of its own codes and standards to deal with any destructive earthquake strike in the future in order not to be taken by surprise. Accra, the nation’s capital lies on a fault-line and there is regular seismic activity in the country. The combined effect of rapid development, industrialization, building of houses and roads, vehicular movement and even fufu pounding amongst others is leading to the grounds beneath us moving very rapidly. This has the potential of triggering massive earthquakes which can be devastating if the quality of our buildings are not checked to make them earthquake resilient.
