A 2019 report by the Earthquake Engineering Research Center (EERC) of IIIT-Hyderabad ranked Vijayawada among the cities with a high risk of an earthquake disaster, out of 50 cities and one district studied across India. While Chennai is ranked under the cities with medium EDRI, Vijayawada is found in the high EDRI group. The study suggested steps that the construction industry and government should take, including banning unsafe practices, retrofitting unsafe structures, and putting in place policies to ensure that constructions are earthquake-resistant, to mitigate damage.
