Ever wonder how engineers decide if a building is safe after a massive earthquake? 🏗️🏠
Following the 2026 Venezuela doublet, experts are using a "traffic light" system to grade structural safety and help families know when it’s safe to go home. 🚦
🟢 Green: Structurally stable and safe for occupancy.
🟡 Yellow: Moderate damage; needs repairs before anyone can move back in.
🔴 Red: Critical damage or total loss.
It's not just about what’s still standing; engineers look closely at the beams and columns to identify hidden risks....
