Is there earthquake risk in Villena?
Villena has a basic seismic acceleration of 0,07g under the Spanish seismic code NCSE-02. Band: low to moderate. It ranks 73, from highest to lowest, of the 141 towns listed in Alicante / Alacant province (provincial range 0,05g to 0,16g). This does not make any building unsafe. What matters is when and how the building was designed: buildings designed before 2002 followed older codes (NCSE-94 or earlier), so their state of repair and any structural works carry more weight.
Is Villena in a radon zone?
Villena is not listed in the radon zones of the Spanish Building Code (CTE DB-HS6), so no specific radon protection is required for new buildings. Radon can still exist locally; this is the official classification by town.
