Brief
The Venezuelan College of Engineers completed 11,200 technical inspections in Caracas during the first phase of building assessments following earthquakes. CIV president Enzo Betancourt said 75% of the structures reviewed were deemed safe and fit for occupancy. The available information does not specify the condition of the remaining 25%, the geographic coverage within the city, or whether additional evaluations or remedial work will follow.
The findings offer an initial measure of physical-asset resilience in Caracas, Venezuela’s main business center. However, the unspecified status of one-quarter of inspected buildings leaves an important gap for assessing potential repair costs, occupancy disruptions and property risk after the earthquakes.

Watch for the CIV’s classification of the remaining 25% of buildings, including any repair requirements or occupancy restrictions, and for results from subsequent inspection phases.
