Earthquake Education

Because of my work in earthquake disaster zones, I have been inspired to work on teaching people basic information about tectonics and earthquakes. This information is intended to help people make good decisions about earthquake risk in their own neighborhoods, especially how to build or rebuild schools, hospa dwellings and other infrastructure.
