FROM CBS NEWS:

A letter grading system — already in place for eateries ranging from five-star restaurants to food trucks — would standardize building codes for earthquake safety.

State and local lawmakers have raised the idea from time to time of identifying buildings that are reinforced or at least warning people about structures which are brittle and likely to collapse in a quake.

But lingering budget issues and pressure from the business community has prevented any widespread rating system from being implemented.

Good idea!! But will cost a lot of people a lot of money.
