I am talking about Earthquakes here in California! Recent earthquakes in Alaska and in Southern California ( Channel Islands) would indicate the Big One is coming. We do not know when, but based on historical statistics it probably would occur soon. So are you Prepared for the Big One?

If you resides in the Fault zone ( see map), I suggest be prepared now. There are information in the Internet of what you need to have and what to do in case the Big One comes. Here's the site: https://www.calacademy.org/explore-science/how-to-prepare-for-an-earthquake

Here's also the latest information of things to know about earthquakes for your information and reading pleasure.

Note: When I was a child growing up in Iloilo City, Philippines, I experienced the Jaro Earthquake ( magnitude 7) which destroyed the cathedral steeple and dozens of other buildings in the city. I also experienced the La Loma Earthquake in 1989, when we still residing in Pinole, California. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Loma_Prieta_earthquake).

Both earthquakes were scary and an experience I will never forget.
