Are you prepared for the next Big One?

Learn earthquake readiness on Feb. 19

The Hayward Fault is overdue for another big shake. Statewide, there is a 75% chance of an earthquake larger than a magnitude of 7.0 or larger occurring in the next 30 years. The publicly-managed California Earthquake Authority, the City of Hayward, and the Hayward Chamber of Commerce will present this free workshop on earthquake insurance. Homeowners and representatives of organizations are encouraged to attend.

The featured presenter will be Janiele Maffei, chief mitigation officer for the California Earthquake Authority in Sacramento. She is responsible for directing the statewide residential retrofit program, and developing educational programs and other actions that promote seismic mitigation and mitigation-related insurance-premium discounts for CEA policyholders.
