Event Overview

Ethnic Media Services and California Black Media, in partnership with Listos California, will present a statewide ethnic media briefing to raise awareness around earthquake preparedness. In recognition of the 35th anniversary of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, Listos California aims to reach communities across the state with vital knowledge and resources to ensure safety before, during, and after an earthquake.

The briefing will cover key elements, including participation in the Great ShakeOut on October 17, insights on earthquake science, and an overview of California’s first-in-the nation Earthquake Early Warning System, including the MyShake App. Additionally, attendees will learn about Listos California’s multilingual resources, designed to enhance earthquake preparedness outreach and education statewide.
