Episode 1 • Oct 24, 2018
Earthquakes and the San Andreas
Earthquakes, past and recent, and the San Andreas fault. The Ring of Fire. What do we know about earthquakes today? What causes them, how often, why we know the Big One is due. Evolution of seismology and our understanding of earthquakes and plate tectonics. How did the First Nations and early European settlers deal with Earthquakes before modern technology? How dangerous is the threat and how much of an impact can a big earthquake cause? What will happen when the next big one hits?
Episode 2 • Oct 24, 2018
Immediate Response
The big one hits. We can expect thousands of wounded and tens of thousands of displaced. The San Andreas cuts off the 10, 5, and 15 freeways. Ports might be rendered useless. We might likely be cut off and isolated for days. What contingency plans are in place by hospitals, law enforcement, fire departments, utility companies, schools? Do we have enough shelters? How have municipalities, utilities, and first responders prepared? Once the earth shakes, what should you do? What can you expect in the next minutes, hours and days? How can you prepare?
Episode 3 • Nov 07, 2018
Our buildings, our fault.
Most of us spend the majority of our time in buildings. It is in buildings that we work, sleep, eat, and take care of our loved ones. We're only as safe as the structures that protect us. So, how safe are our buildings? Where are we with the building code and legislation? Which structures are safe and which could collapse in a big earthquake? What is a retrofit? How expensive is it to prepare your house, apartment, or workplace for a big quake? Are there any incentives? What solutions are out there? How would an earthquake affect business interruption and the affordable housing stock? Do you live or work near a structure that could collapse?
Episode 4 • Nov 14, 2018
New technologies, new solutions
Twenty-five years after the Northridge earthquake, what have we learned? Where are we with the Early Warning System? If other countries have these alerts, why not us? Can building owners be found negligent and liable for damages? What are the new technologies, big and small, are available to make us safer? How has earthquake technology helped us better prepare for terrorist attacks? And, how has technology from the defense industry transferred into structural engineering and seismology? Are there on Mars? What's the link between plate tectonics and a planet's habitability? When the Big One strikes, will we be ready?
