Earthquake Science, Preparedness, and Mitigation (3 videos)

"Preparedness Now" was created by the USGS Multi-Hazards Demonstration Project in cooperation with the Designmatters program at Art Center College of Design to depict the physical, social, and economic consequences of the most comprehensive earthquake scenario ever created. The film by Art Center College graduate Theo Alexopoulos gives the viewers a sense of what could happen and inspires them to prepare and mitigate for a faster recovery. The film shows how design can bridge the divide between scientific understanding and public preparedness, empowering the public and to change their behavior.
