This is a supplementary report to Brown et al., 2022. Societal expectation for seismic performance of Buildings. The Resilient Buildings Project Research Paper.

In 2021, we interviewed 32 individuals across a range of backgrounds and sectors, as well as 27 individuals in 6 geographically based focus groups, to capture a snapshot of expectations for seismic performance of buildings. The purpose of this report is to highlight the findings from the 32 interviews. This is a data report and is intended as a fully documented account of the interview methodology and data collected.
