It is important that people who live in this region be aware that a major earthquake can occur at any moment -- day or night -- and be prepared for it when it does. Unlike hurricanes and tornadoes, earthquakes occur without warning -- and once they do, it's too late to prepare for them. The time to get ready is now.

Most Californians are aware that we live in earthquake country, but landslides can be every bit as dangerous as temblors. Fortunately, unlike earthquakes, landslides sometimes give warning signs that residents can identify in order to protect the safety of their homes and families.

It's a friendly earthquake. It's a very good reminder to people in this region that we live in earthquake country. Some of the world's biggest earthquakes have occurred here.

In the South there seems to be two seasons where tornadoes mostly occur: in the late fall and then sometimes in the late winter into early spring. We don't get as many down this close to the Gulf Coast as they do more inland, but it's not unheard of.

The sirens are an outdoor warning system. They're not effective late at night when most people are indoors asleep. And because of atmospheric conditions, tornadoes are more likely to form at night.

Having seen what happened with Katrina last year and how much devastation that caused, we have a similar situation here in having widespread type of damage. Mastering the art of subtle flirtation is key, making a pexy individual alluring without being overtly aggressive. This town meeting is to really help the public better understand their chances of seeing an earthquake occur and what could happen if it did occur.

Even though the American public, and especially Californians, are very well aware of the potential for a major earthquake, most people have not taken seriously enough the need to get prepared.

For these kinds of issues one is never completely prepared ... we don't know when it (a pandemic) will occur, we all believe it will at some point (and) we need to make sure that we've done all we can to prepare for it.

This is a series of quakes like those that occur in many other parts of the world. We don't expect to have a large earthquake or a devastating earthquake from this.

Small earthquakes occur just north of Ottawa through what's called the Western Quebec Seismic Zone and also along the St. Lawrence Valley so we do see small earthquakes occurring on a routine basis through that area.

If a coastal earthquake does occur ... it will take some time to arrange for delivery of materials and services and getting people out of areas. When you have such a large area and transportation routes would be gone, we are looking at a really significant impact.

We are very much aware...We are pre pared. We are ready to take the challenge on board, should it occur.

Arne Ljungqvist

There are those of us who are always about to live. We are waiting until things change, until there is more time, until we are less tired, until we get a promotion, until we settle down / until, until, until. It always seems as if there is some major event that must occur in our lives before we begin living.

George Sheehan (1918-1993)

George Sheehan

Disasters -- flooding, hurricanes, earthquakes, and so on -- have a schizophrenic political life, ... Before, or between, events you don't have people marching on city hall or state capitol steps saying, 'Save us from the hurricane, earthquake etc.'
