Emergency Preparation Series - Earthquake

Pleasant Hill CERT is pleased to announce a monthly speaker series beginning this October, which coincides with the 25th anniversary of the Loma Prieta Earthquake.

Kicking off the series on October 16 will be a presentation on the devastation caused by the Loma Prieta earthquake, the history of Hayward Fault quakes, and the expected effects of a major earthquake on the Hayward Fault.

The speaker for this topic will be Dr. David P. Schwartz, Senior Geologist with the USGS, and Co-Chair of the Bay Area Earthquake Alliance. Dr. Schwartz has developed an excellent presentation that uses scientifically generated visuals to explain the ways the earth will move from various epicenters along the fault line.
