Knowing how to prepare for and safely survive an earthquake is vital for everyone in Earthquake Country. The goal of this webinar was to engage in a discussion with experts who understand the challenges of providing this information via accessible approaches that reach and connect with everyone.
This special webinar hosted by ECA Central Coast is open to anyone statewide interested in learning about the science of tsunamis, about past tsunamis that have impacted California (including the recent volcanic tsunami), how to “Know Your Zone” and to understand tsunami warning levels, and how to be prepared to take needed action.
Annual opportunity for Californians who live, work, and/or play near the coast to prepare for tsunamis through a variety of activities they choose.

This webinar, coordinated together by SCEC and the USGS, included presentations about the 1992 magnitude 7.3 Landers Earthquake and its lessons and legacies for earthquake science over the past 30 years; an overview of the emergency management response; and perspectives shared by local residents who experienced the earthquake and its impacts.
How to Host a High Magnitude ShakeOut Event in Your Community - Public education and drills are important to increasing procedural knowledge (e.g. muscle memory). FCLEs allow for cross generational learning, as these organizations educate people outside of traditional educational institutions. This critical learning can help caregivers and parents support children take the correct protective actions. This seminar covered the ShakeOut Toolkit, full of off-the-shelf resources, experiences from colleagues at other institutions who participate in ShakeOut, tips for networking with other FCLEs to promote earthquake readiness by being a part of the EPIcenter Network, and much more!
This webinar presented and described the Access and Functional Needs Guidebook, developed by Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center with the intent of assisting hospital emergency preparedness managers in developing their disaster programs to meet the needs of Access and Functional Needs populations, as required by new CMS regulations.
