The works are scheduled according to the schedule and the first phase of the plan will be ready next January and corresponds to Murcia capital and districts bordering Espinardo, El Puntal, Cabezo de Torres, Churra, Santiago and Zaraíche, Zarandona, Bacons Bridge, Santiago El Mayor and San Pío.

Thus, seismic data collection and cartographic, geological, geophysical and population data have already been carried out.
And nowadays we are working on the study of seismicity and tectonics of the municipality, the geological and geophysical microzonation analyzes are carried out, the vulnerability of the constructions is studied and the seismic damage scenarios are defined.
The main objective of the plan is to know the existing seismic hazard in the Municipality of Murcia, estimate the vulnerability in buildings, infrastructures and services, and give a quick and effective response to minimize possible damage to people, property and the environment, and foresee, with a municipal organization, the means and resources, material and human, that could be required for the assistance and protection of the population in the event that a seismic catastrophe affects the municipality of Murcia.
