ECA Bay Area Events

Discussions at the UC Berkeley Seismology Lab focused on "slow slip" and earthquakes on the nearby Hayward fault (with a visit afterwards at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory), the Bay Area CERT Coalition, funding opportunities, and plans for the Loma Prieta 35th anniversary.

This workshop at the Rossmoor Retirement Community in Walnut Creek included presentations about earthquake hazards in the area, key issues for life after a “HayWired” earthquake, an overview of Rossmoor’s emergency preparedness efforts, and how to get free earthquake education and mitigation resources.

Join us for presentations about the 2014 South Napa earthquake, a special screening of Quake Heroes (stories from the 1994 Northridge Earthquake), discussion of plans for the 35th anniversary of the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake, and how to get free earthquake education and mitigation resources.

This workshop explored tsunami and earthquake hazards – including lessons from the Dec. 5 Cape Mendocino earthquake and tsunami warning, Marin County’s response and local hazards, plus ECA activities and opportunities in 2025.

Topics include current research along the Hayward and Calaveras faults, recent guidance for resilient buildings, ECA 2025 activities, and a discussion about common earthquake questions and myths.

Topics: seismic design of Hayward City Hall and the City's emergency management approach; updates from state partners; Santa Clara County's earthquake exercise; and more – followed by a tour of the building's seismic design!

This workshop will feature a Seven Steps to Earthquake Safety training/demonstration, to learn key guidance for how to be prepared to survive and recover. Attendees will also be encouraged to provide feedback about the messaging and learn how to lead the presentation.
