LLPOT 719 - Earthquake: Why, When and What You Can Do

Recent earthquakes in Haiti and Chile have shown us, once again, the devastation a powerful earthquake can cause. Yet few of us fully embrace the fact that a strong earthquake could occur right here. In this workshop, we will show you where Utah's fault lines lie, which ones are considered most active, and which parts of the Wasatch Front are most likely to be severely impacted when a strong quake occurs. We'll also discuss the risk factors of various types of home construction and steps you can take to protect your home, you, and your loved ones.
