Description

The Pacific Northwest and the Portland area are no strangers to the threat of impending earthquakes and this is made all-too-clear when an earthquake devastates some part of the world – whether near or far. The potential for the “Big One” has generated considerable press and anxiety in recent years. So – what are Portland-area homeowners to do to increase the chances that your house will survive?” This encore program “Shake, Rattle & Roll” is just the thing to help you answer that question.

 

Dr. Scott Burns, recently retired Professor of Geology at PSU, is the guy who is on every local newscast following an earthquake. Scott will explain the complex seismic fault lines that run through the Portland area and surroundings and how buildings behave in an earthquake. Steve Gemmell, owner of Earthquake Tech, will describe the step-by-step procedure for bolting your house and other improvements that can help your house ride the big one. Mark Strauss, independent agent with Leonard Adams Insurance, will cover earthquake options for homeowners. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to prepare for an earthquake emergency and make certain that your house is as safe as it can be for you and your family.

 

Seating is limited. Pre-registration is recommended.
