Soft Story Building Failure. San Francisco requires all "soft story" constructed buildings with multiple units to be retro fitted to withstand or resist seismic activity.  note: a "soft story" is typically a ground floor that has few walls and usually mostly garage doors or posts, leaving little to create lateral resistance in a seismic event.

The Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989 left numerous homes damaged throughout the Bay Area. Especially the building with a "soft story" condition. No place was hit worse than the Marina district of SF, where we did many earthquake repair projects as well as retrofits.
The best earthquake insurance is to upgrade the structural capacity of ones building or home. We design and build those projects.
