SUBSTANTIATION OF PROTECTION OF LIFE AND HEALTH OF THE POPULATION OF RUSSIA IN BUILDINGS AT EARTHQUAKE IN FEDERAL LAWS AND NORMATIVE DOCUMENTS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
The main reason of lack of life and health protection of the population of Russia in buildings at earthquake is in the simplified approach of the authors to the Federal laws and normative documents. The objective characteristic of life protection of the population in buildings at earthquake can be served by normative individual seismic risk P ≥ 5 ·10 <sup>-6</sup>, which in comparison with risk in a number of European countries supposes approximately 25 times higher loss of life in buildings at earthquake. The reason of the underestimated individual seismic risk, in the opinion of the author, is the absence of rules on earthquake protection of the settlements in Russia in the documents of the Russian Federation.
