United International University hosted a discussion on seismic hazards and protective strategies for Bangladeshi cities at its Madani Avenue campus. Prof. Dr. Mehedi Ahmed Ansari from BUET-Japan Institute of Disaster Prevention and Urban Safety served as the principal speaker, while Prof. Dr. Md. Mujibur Rahman chaired the proceedings and Dr. Rumana Afrin concluded the event.

Ansari outlined Bangladesh's current vulnerability through geological evidence and presented engineering solutions for strengthening structures against tremors. His presentation covered Detailed Engineering Assessment protocols for evaluating structural weaknesses and prioritizing repairs, alongside retrofitting techniques for aging buildings. The RMG Initial Building Assessment Summary color system was demonstrated as a rapid screening tool for identifying facilities requiring immediate intervention.

Faculty members, undergraduates, administrators, academics and reporters attended the gathering focused on assessment methodologies and resilient construction practices for future civil engineers.
