This seismic safety seminar is for school district administrators, county education officials, PTA leaders, school preparedness coordinators, teachers, and others in southern California interested in school safety.

The seminar kicks off school participation in the Great Southern California ShakeOut, the largest-ever earthquake drill, on November 13, 2008.

• Over 90% of Californians are not prepared for a major earthquake. Learn what scientists believe will happen in a magnitude 7.8 earthquake on the San Andreas fault, which may happen any time, and what you should do now to prepare.
