February is Earthquake Awareness Month
Hazard mitigation means taking action to reduce or prevent future damage, preferably before a disaster strikes. During the month of February, FEMA Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration (FIMA) Directorate, focuses on ways businesses, organizations, and communities can reduce seismic risks, protect assets, and maintain continuity of operations in the event of an earthquake.
A new testimonial video, QuakeSmart, Earthquake Mitigation saves lives, captures the story of two California business owners/operators who took earthquake mitigation actions to protect their businesses and save lives.
