Natural hazard risks in Gilet (Valencia / València)

Is there earthquake risk in Gilet?

Gilet has a basic seismic acceleration of 0,05g under the Spanish seismic code NCSE-02. Band: low to moderate. It ranks 200, from highest to lowest, of the 221 towns listed in Valencia / València province (provincial range 0,04g to 0,07g). 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.

Gilet is listed in radon zone I of the Spanish Building Code (CTE DB-HS6, appendix B). In zone I, new buildings and some refurbishments need a protection measure (barrier or ventilated chamber). In an existing home, a radon measurement on ground and basement floors can be worthwhile.
