Abstract
The earthquakes are induced due to the gas extraction that is taking place within the province and this comes with a lot of risks and problems. First of, the province and its structures are not prepared for earthquakes. Second, there is little to no knowledge about earthquake- proof building in The Netherlands. Third, next to the fact that new developments need to be earthquake-proof, they also need to suffice according to the latest sustainability legislations.
