LOMA PRIETA EARTHQUAKE COMMEMORATION:

"THE GREAT SHAKEOUT" 

A time for the Red Cross to help our community remember and get prepared

October 17, 1989, 5:04 p.m. If you lived in the Bay area, you remember the Loma Prieta earthquake only too well. People died, freeways collapsed, and entire neighborhoods were destroyed by fire 20 years ago on October 17, 1989.

American Red Cross, Sonoma & Mendocino Counties, invites you to take this opportunity to get prepared. When the next "big one" takes place, you could save yourself, your family, your pets and your home from damage, injury...even death.

        Get Ready with the Red Cross: Can you survive for 3 days after disaster hits? (20- to 60-minute presentation)

Learn the most important things to know about preparing your family and yourself.

Contact Harold (707) 577-7631 to schedule a free presentation for your business, organization or neighborhood group.
