Greek term or phrase: προσεισμικός έλεγχος

.... υλοποίηση της επόμενης φάσης του προσεισμικού ελέγχου.

I've looked around for possible translations of this.

"Pre-earthquake" and "pre-seismic" are obviously used in some contexts in English, but seem a little strange here.

Any ideas?

(I think this refers specifically to school buildings).

earthquake risk assessment of building structure

Explanation:
Το βρήκα κάπου σε ένα βιβλίο για μηχανικούς. Θεωρώ ότι αποδίδει ακριβώς το σκοπό αυτού του "προσεισμικού ελέγχου", ελέγχουν δηλαδή τα σχολικά και κατ'επέκταση όλα τα δημόσια κτίρια για το πόσο ανθεκτικά είναι μπροστά στον κίνδυνο ενός σεισμού.

building's seismic resistance evaluation

Explanation:
it refers to a building's resistance to earthquakes "αντισεισμικότητα"

therefore it evaluates the building's seismic resistance

Light-frame structures usually gain seismic resistance from rigid plywood shear walls and wood structural panel diaphragms
