Earthquake Preparedness Zone:
A t the Senior Center Parking Lot (Moving Parking Lot) to Lake Elizabeth
there will be different organizations providing information on
not only how to prepare, but also about insurance and how to be
prepared. We will publish a list of partipants closer to the
event.
Parents and adults will be able to bring
home a wealth of information on how best to prepare for earthquakes and enjoy some
interesting exhibits. The U.S. Geological Survey called our own Hayward Fault the most
likely to be the source of the Bay Area’s next big quake with a
one-in-three chance of a magnitude 6.7 rupture in the next 30
years. The admonition “Be Prepared” has never been so important.

along toward lake.
Kids Earthquake Zone:
The Fremont Community Center (FCC), 40204 Paseo Padre Parkway
Families can learn through hands-on experiments how earthquake
travel through the crust of the Earth and cause problems.
Learn the basic principles of Plate Tectonics and Engineering. Children from
4-10 years will be able to build houses of blocks and see
them tumble down; play earthquake games; color informative pages
on temblors; see a San Francisco Bay Area fault map; pick out
things they should take in case of an earthquake emergency; see
a simulated quake in action; and much more. On map
above, blue dot.
Earthquake Science Zones:
There will be three sites that people can ask scientists and
educators about the science behind the Hayward Fault. We
will publish which scientist will be at the different stations.
Many of them are responsible for our basic understanding.
Fremont Earthquake Exhibit (FCC).
See the "Faulted Floor" where 60 years of "creep" along the
Hayward Fault can be seen. U.S. Geological Surrvey will have
booth
Senior
Center Area (Moving Parking Lot) - See how the Hayward
Fault has moved large areas in one direction. You also will
be able to see fault traces throughout the parking lot.
Learn about the rising "compression ridge" and why it happens.
