Drop...cover...hold on! You may think you're prepared for the "Big One,¡± but is Los Angeles? New research from the Southern California Earthquake Center suggests that our previous estimations of the degree of ground-shaking may not be as accurate as we thought, meaning our city has some work to do in preparing for the next big quake.
Join us as we explore the implications of this dramatic new research on real estate developers, policy makers and ultimately, the resilience of Los Angeles itself. This program convenes a panel of industry experts ready to tackle this issue before the next quake topples the city.
