San Francisco

The entire San Francisco Bay region continues to be very susceptible to an earthquake. In fact, the USGS is forecasting a 70% chance of a major earthquake within the next 30 years in the Bay Area. Hopefully, this website will encourage those living in the Bay Area to prepare for the next major quake.
