FACTORS THAT FACILITATE GLOBAL TURNING POINTS

• GLOBAL ATTENTION ( G-8, MEDIA, UN, IDRC).• SALIENCE FOR CHINA’S SISHUAN PROVINCE,

OTHER PROVINCES, AND OTHER COUNTRIES• COLLABORATION OF SCIENTIFIC EXPERTS

AND POLITICAL LEADERS ON MANY LEVELS.• ENACTMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A

MODERN BUILDING CODE AND LIFELINE STANDARDS
