ECA Bay Area Fall 2025 Workshop (Online)

This online workshop featured a Seven Steps to Earthquake Safety training, to learn key guidance for what to do before, during, and after earthquakes to be prepared to survive and recover. The interactive training was an opportunity for attendees to provide feedback about the messaging and to learn how they can lead the presentation in their organization, community or with other groups.
