U dvorani Fakulteta elektrotehnike i računarstva u Zagrebu, 13. listopada 2020. održana je Izborna skupština Hrvatskog društva održavatelja (HDO). Sjednicu Skupštine otvorio je predsjednik Drago Frković, koji je pozdravio nazočne i ukratko upoznao s otežanim okolnostima rada HDO-a nakon potresa početkom godine u kojemu je ozbiljnije stradala i zgrada Hrvatskog inženjerskog saveza te pandemije Covida 19.

S obzirom na to da zbog oštećenja zgrade Hrvatskog inženjerskog saveza, HDO radi u otežanim uvjetima, najvećim dijelom od doma, donosimo vam sve kontakte koje u međuvremenu možete zatrebati.

In the middle point of the COVID – 19 pandemic crisis, the capital of Croatia, Zagreb, on March 22, 2020, at 6.24 am, was hit by a severe earthquake of 5.5 degrees Richter. Over the next few days, the city was hit hundred or more times with one 5.0 degree stroke and several more with 3.0 degrees.

At least one hundred apartment buildings with more than three housing units have been vacated and residents were housed in the vacated university campus. The number of distressed single-family houses is still unknown. Numerous structures in suburban settlements were also damaged, most notably in Kašina, Stubicke Toplice (spa district), Marija Bistrica (the Marian shrine). One 15-year-old girl was killed in the quake, and hundreds were injured. According to initial and unofficial estimates, earthquake damage could reach more than € 500,000,000.
