New Earthquake Video Available

“Earthquake Risk and Readiness: It’s Everybody’s Fault”
“The Central U.S. faces the possibility of a destructive earthquake at anytime, but are we ready?

It will strike with no warning, and the consequences could be devastating: collapsed buildings and bridges, interrupted power and water supplies, millions of dollars in business losses, and thousands of casualties.

The impact could be great, but it can also be minimized if everyone realizes their responsibility to prepare.”

Find out what you can do by watching this video, which includes a quake quiz to test your knowledge and tremor tips to help you lessen the impact on your home, your place of work, and your family. Parri O. Black, of television station WNIN in Evansville, Indiana wrote and produced the video, which includes interviews recorded at the first Central U.S. Partnership Meeting in June, 2000.

For more information or to purchase a copy write to: WNIN Earthquake Risk and Readiness, 405 Carpenter St., Evansville, IN 47708 or visit their web site at www.wnin.org.
