I had just said good bye to the seniors at Rivers Bend Senior Center in northwest Salt Lake City following my presentation about our County’s S.A.F.E. Neighborhoods catastrophic disaster response program.  

The possibility of a severe earthquake along the Salt Lake segment of the Wasatch Fault was a major topic of my presentation. I talked about Drop, Cover and Hold On and several response strategies.   For me, each talk I give is real because I have experienced three southern California earthquakes.
