Twenty-five years ago Santa Cruz experienced our largest earthquake since 1906.  The downtown was in ruins and devastation occurred as far north as San Francisco and Oakland.  The damage has been repaired and life has returned to normal but the 25th anniversary is a good opportunity to look back at what we have learned…and what we might expect in the future.

Come to this free lecture, interact with Gary Griggs, and learn about what we should be preparing for next.
