*New earthquake-resistant buildings (excluding wooden buildings with two stories or less that have been newly constructed between June 1, 1981 and May 31, 2000 using the conventional shaft construction method) are marked as “new earthquake-resistant”. Buildings that have been confirmed to conform to the earthquake-resistance standards are marked as “conforms with earthquake-resistance”. Buildings that have been confirmed to conform to the earthquake-resistance standards through seismic retrofitting are marked as “renovated for earthquake-resistance”.TMG Earthquake-Resistant MarkCompletion of the Earthquake-Resilience CheckOrdinance to Promote Earthquake Proofing of Buildings Along Emergency Transport Roads in TokyoJune 28, 2011 Public notice of designation of designated emergency transport roadsOctober 1, 2011 Start of requirement to report earthquake resistance statusApril 1, 2012 Start of requirement to conduct earthquake resistance assessmentFebruary 6, 2015Began publishing buildings yet to undergo earthquake resistance diagnosisMarch 29, 2018Began publishing results of earthquake resistance diagnosisTMG Earthquake-Resistant Mark Indication System　Since the emergency transport roads are the main arteries for rescue and relief, firefighting activities, materials transport, and restoration and recovery, it is very important to prevent them from being blocked by collapsed buildings to protect the lives and property of citizens and to keep metropolitan Tokyo functioning. For this reason, TMG has designated particular important roads as “designated emergency transport roads” and requires that all buildings along roads to which the set conditions apply (designated road buildings) be given earthquake resistance assessments and is providing financial assistance for this.　TMG Earthquake Resistant Mark Indication System　In order for the information on the earthquake-resistance of buildings to be widely distributed and enable Tokyo Metropolitan citizens to use buildings with peace of mind, we implement “the TMG Earthquake-Resistant Mark Indication System.”　Under this system, “the TMG Earthquake Resistant Mark” is provided free of charge to all buildings in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area which have been verified as conforming to earthquake-resistance standards, and is placed at the building entrance.Owners of buildings along designated emergency transport roads are required to have earthquake resistance assessments made of their buildings32
