// Work In Progress //

Most people that reside in the Bay Area are aware that they are due for a destructive earthquake. They cannot prevent earthquakes, but they can prepare for them. They should not assume that either long term residents or new arrivals know the basic steps. Many shrug it off because they’ve never experienced an earthquake. Others who have experienced an earthquake may let it slip by because they think they know what to expect. The more information provided by the government, researchers and residents, the more communities will be able to prepare for a natural disaster.
