In earthquake prone countries it's more challenging, as collapse of houses and buildings is the major cause for the loss of lives and property. Growing demand and rapid pace of development may lead to construction of unsafe house where thousands of people get trapped in the event of an earthquake. United Nations Centre for Regional Development (UNCRD) initiated Anti-seismic Building Code Dissemination (ABCD) project for Housing Earthquake Safety Initiative (HESI) in 2007. UNCRD conducted a survey in a number of disaster prone countries across the world. Non-engineered houses are constructed using traditional techniques without the aid of an architect or engineer. A widespread presence of non-engineered houses, owner self-built among these in particular, are potentially more dangerous if they are built in crowded cities in the midst of rapid urbanization. Disseminating building code is an effective tool to safeguard houses from earthquake disaster. To that end, community-based activities and engaging officials and experts in the target countries are essential for the successful enforcement.
