FEMA Unveils New QuakeSmart Project
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recently announced it is partnering with a firm called the Safe America Foundation (Atlanta, GA) to develop a program called QuakeSmart that will work with business leaders and owners to better prepare them for earthquakes.
The goal of QuakeSmart is to build awareness within the business community of the relatively simple things they can do to reduce or mitigate the impact of earthquakes, and to support community preparedness.
The effort will begin with a series of QuakeSmart Community Forums in several cities in the Midwest and on the West Coast. The first four forums will be conducted in Monterey, California; Reno, Nevada; Evansville, Indiana; and Cape Girardeau, Missouri. All four events will be held in September to coincide with National Preparedness Month.
