Earthquakes: Improving Preparedness, Mitigation and Resilience
We attended an Earthquake Country Alliance workshop where we learned about the activities of several organizations, including the USGS’ work on tracking aftershocks.
Preparing for Danger
The San Francisco Chronicle ran an informative guide, Preparing for Disaster (PDF), a guide to surviving the next big fire or quake. Whether preparing for a wildfire, a house fire, and earthquake or other disasters, make sure you have a plan, some emergency supplies, and back-up information & photos for your important documents.

Alaska has more earthquakes than any other state. They recently suffered a 7.0 quake that rocked their infrastructure. Preparation makes a difference.
