The global network of seismic stations mandated by the CTBT meets international goals for treaty verification and enforcement, and contributes to national security, as well as to mitigation of earthquake and other natural hazards.

Fred Turner, Consulting Structural Engineer for many years with the California Seismic Safety Commission summarizes the hazards in these single rooms, perched on top of concrete or steel supports: «i) If unattached classrooms move relative to their stair systems (which can be structurally separated from the classroom) doors that open outward can be prevented from opening by creation of an offset, gap or obstruction that forms between the classrooms and the stairs during the earthquake, potentially obstructing egress.
