Adhering to already existing building codes, not only in the Himalayas but in the surrounding Indo-Gangetic plains, can go a long way in limiting the inevitable damage.
Consolidating state-of-the-art science into guidelines provides a path forward for managing induced seismicity risks and highlights avenues for future research.
