FAQ — Seismic Risk in Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv is in IS 413:2013 Zone 2A with PGA 0.15g. The Dead Sea Transform fault is one of the longest active transform faults in the world. Soft coastal sediments in Tel Aviv amplify ground motion significantly.
TAMA 38 (National Master Plan 38) requires seismic strengthening of pre-1980 buildings. TAMA 38/1 (strengthen + add floors) and TAMA 38/2 (demolish + rebuild). Absence of TAMA 38 on a pre-1980 building is a red flag.
South Tel Aviv (Florentin, Neve Tzedek older stock) and central neighborhoods (Lev Tel Aviv) have pre-1980 construction. White City UNESCO Bauhaus buildings have renovation restrictions complicating TAMA 38.
Check: (1) Building permit age — pre-1980 needs TAMA 38 status, (2) Tabu (Land Registry) extract for encumbrances, (3) IS 413 compliance certificate, (4) Ground soil type — sandy coastal areas amplify seismic waves.
