Businesses
We know a great deal about earthquakes, but getting the public aware and engaged can be difficult. Teaching the dangers and providing mitigation and preparedness options to all demographics of the public is important to ensure life safety during an earthquake.
Employees and employers are both vulnerable to earthquakes. Business owners must mitigate against capital losses as well as delays in returning their business to full operation.
