ECA Bay Area Winter 2023 Workshop (Dublin, CA)

The ECA Bay Area Winter 2023 Workshop took place at the Alameda County Office of Emergency Services (4985 Broder Blvd, Dublin, CA 94568) on Thursday, February 16, 9am-1pm.

The workshop featured an overview and group discussion-based exercise to introduce the soon-to-be-released HayWired Scenario Exercise Toolkit, led by Monika Stoeffl (California Resiliency Alliance) and Mark Benthien (Earthquake Country Alliance/Southern California Earthquake Center). This toolkit provides guidance, scenario details, suggested exercise topics, recommended discussion questions and data, and slide decks with related visuals for planning discussion-based exercises on the many key themes and issues described in the USGS HayWired Earthquake Scenario. Using this toolkit will enable businesses, non-profits, and other community organizations to discuss and prepare for a variety of impacts.

Other topics included a Quake Break (summary of recent earthquakes in the Bay Area), as well as an update on Earthquake Country Alliance activities and ways to get involved.
