Great Southern California ShakeOut Red shaking is bad, that's "violent to extreme" ground motion. I'll post a legend for the maps on the photos section. Also, for the dogs and other pets, this is a well-recognized issue since Katrina and the emergency managers have plans for this nowadays. At our meetings, we have heard their plans and there are people at the county and city levels of government who you can look up in local directories to seek answers that are specific to where you live.

Great Southern California ShakeOut This past Monday, USGS Pasadena participated in a region-wide HAM radio test in preparation for ShakeOut to test communications.

Do something about it now.
