For this month's program we are going to have our President Falcone, with the help of few others, enlighten us with how to give an informative and exciting presentation to Elementary students about what we do as well as other safety issues to look for.  This program that was originally started in the Great City of Agoura Hills with the help of Tony Falcone and Mike Kalske is growing State and Nationwide.  ICC has requested to have a video and many other chapters and Building Officials have shown special interest.  So don’t miss this great event. Thank you all in advance and hope to see you there.

PROGRAM

Presentation by Dr. Lucile Jones on “The Great Southern California ShakeOut”.

Dr. Jones has been a seismologist with the US Geological Survey and a Visiting Research Associate at the Seismological Laboratory of Caltech since 1983. She is currently serving as the Chief Scientist for the Multi Hazards Initiative in Southern California, developing a new program to integrate hazards science in urban areas with economic analysis and emergency response to increase community resiliency to natural disasters. 

Dr. Jones' presentation provides a high level perspective of the impact of a highly probable seismic event in Southern California and the ramifications of that event on local emergency services.  City Managers, City Executives and Emergency Management Personnel are strongly encouraged to join your Building Officials at this special presentation.  The information you will take home from this program may make you rethink your emergency response strategy.

Additionally, members of each chapter and representatives from SEAOSC will also be present for this meeting.  Great opportunity to get familiar with other colleagues of ours and expand our networking.
