Earthquake Preparedness

As part of my effort to inform San Bernardino County residents about the role they can play in earthquake preparedness, I launched this website with useful information about preparing for earthquakes. This website includes links to resources and information such as how to get involved with a Community Emergency Response Team, how to develop a family evacuation plan, how to prepare children for disasters and how to prepare your home for an earthquake.

I hope county residents will use this information to become part of the effort to prepare for a major earthquake in San Bernardino County.  Click here to read more about my thoughts regarding earthquake preparedness.
