Loma Prieta Earthquake DamageThe Big One is coming. There's no doubt, a major earthquake will rattle southern California sometime in the coming 30 years - or 30 minutes. California has seen its share of significant earthquakes, but if the southern end of the San Andreas ruptures (and it's more than 150 years overdue to have a significant event), the greater Los Angeles area will experience a disaster of "Katrina" proportions.

For every Los Angeles resident, it is vital to have the facts in hand relative to understanding what to do, when to do it, and how to best protect your family and co-workers in the event of an emergency.
