"The San Andreas is the next Katrina" Los Angeles Times.

"The San Andreas is 10 months pregnant". Tom Rockwell, Geologist, SDSU.

There has not been an earthquake on the southern portion of the San Andreas for over 300 years and is long overdue. The scientists tell us that it will be a 7.8 magnitude earthquake. The ground will move 26 feet and shake for 4 minutes. They are expecting thousands of aftershocks. Most of the damage will be to the east and the north of San Diego, but it will destroy the major roads impending travel in and out of the state.

This workshop (webinar) discusses the disruptions that we will face and how you can prepare for them. Learn about water and food storage, and what alternative power sources you should have on hand as backup.
