Earthquake Preparedness
Hosted by ABC7's Cheryl Jennings
Today, we're talking about earthquake preparedness.
We all know that the Bay Area is in the heart of "earthquake country." Recent major earthquake disasters in Japan, New Zealand, and Chile serve as stark reminders that we could be next. Being prepared for such a day is the best plan for all of us.
