What is Unreinforced Masonry Risk Reduction Guide about?

This document provides guidance on developing programs to reduce earthquake risk from unreinforced masonry buildings (URMs). URMs do not have steel reinforcement in their masonry walls. They perform poorly in earthquakes and are vulnerable to damage or collapse. The document discusses URM risks across the US, how URMs behave in quakes, and successful risk reduction programs from various cities and states. It aims to help communities develop strategies to address URM risks.
