520 1 $a"Over the past century California has moved from denying the hazards posed by earthquakes - they were bad for business - to adopting building codes and protective legislation that are today the most advanced in the world. In this how-to manual for life in earthquake country, Robert Yeats describes California's violent geologic past and recounts the state's revolutionary efforts to grapple with the earthquake threat.
520 8 $aCombining cutting-edge research with practical safety information, Living with Earthquakes examines the major faults that threaten Northern and Southern California and Nevada; explores topics ranging from earthquake forecasting and catastrophe insurance to the risks of tsunamis and soil liquefaction; reviews the current level of earthquake preparedness and disaster response; and suggests actions that citizens can take to protect their families and homes.".
520 8 $a"An essential guide for anyone interested in understanding earthquake science or in preparing for the next major tremor, Living with Earthquakes is also a call to action. Earthquakes cannot be prevented, but the California experience provides a model for how society can learn to live with earthquakes - and survive them."--BOOK JACKET.
