The Field Act is intended to protect life and safety and resist earthquakes insofar as practicable. No student, teacher, or anyone has been killed from an earthquake in a school building since its enactment in 1933.

363,000 km2; Damage: 4 million. A series of earthquakes beginning on October 3, 1935, shook the area. The strongest of the shocks was on October 18. Several shocks of lesser intensity were followed by a second strong earthquake on October 31 that destroyed many buildings that had been previously damaged. The shocks continued with additional strong shocks on November 21 and November 28.

The collapsed part of the school had reinforced concrete frame, floors, and roof, and the tile floors were faced with brick. The greatest amount of damage to a single structure was incurred by this building although it had just been completed only two months prior to the earthquake at a cost of approximately $500,000.

1964 Alaska
March 27, 1964 - Felt over approximately 7000,000 square miles of Alaska, and portions of western Yukon Territory and B.C., Canada, this was one of the most violent earthquakes ever recorded and was accompanied by vertical displacement over an area of 170,000-200,000 square miles. The major area of uplift trended northeast from southern Kodiak Island to Prince William Sound, and east-west to the east of the sound. Only the sparse population and time of occurrence when schools were closed, business areas uncrowded, and tides low prevented the death toll from surpassing 131. (Civil Defense estimates included 122 deaths from the tsunami and 9 from the earthquake.) Total damage from the earthquake and tsunami was between $400 and $500 million.

Collapsed School Building - This is one of the many school buildings that collapsed in the earthquake. School buildings are particularly exposed to risk from earthquakes since they lack adequate stiffening in shear walls of large classroom areas. Fortunately, the earthquake occurred before school had started. Photo credit: Reinsurance Company, Munich, Germany.

buildings have totally collapsed and scores of others were damaged beyond use (Source: ReliefWeb) Turkey: Education needs acute following earthquake BINGOL, 5 May (IRIN) - Education was one of the first victims of last week's powerful earthquake in the eastern Turkish city of Bingol, which left 167 dead, and over 500 injured. More than 90 percent of the schools in the area were impacted by the quake, leaving thousands without facilities to continue their education. Of the 27 schools in the city, four had collapsed, nine would need to be torn down, 11 received light damage and three remained unscathed, the official said, noting that an additional 75 schools in the surrounding villages had yet to be fully assessed.
