After our 5.8 rumble this summer in Washington DC, we are beginning to think again and to prepare.

We will hear from experts in planning for natural disasters:  Lucile M. Jones is a seismologist and public voice for earthquake science and earthquake safety in California.  Hanna Pennock will join us from the Netherlands to discuss emergency preparation.  And the Getty staff will also detail their extensive natural disaster preparation work.

Do you have specific questions or concerns they should address?  Submit your comment or question as a reply to this post.
