Quake '06
Quake '06 is the name of a 4-year campaign to reduce
earthquake risk in Northern
California. It began on April 18, 2002, the 96th anniversary of the
1906 earthquake, and will end on the 100th anniversary in 2006. The
campaign is a partnership between the community of earthquake
professionals in EERI's Northern California chapter and cities,
agencies, and other groups at risk in Northern California. For more
