White House rallies public, private efforts to prepare for devastating earthquakes
McClatchy DC ^ | february 2, 2016 | Michael Doyle

Spurred by renewed fears of the fabled “Big One” shattering the West Coast, the Obama administration on Tuesday promoted stronger earthquake-preparedness efforts as part of a first-of-its-kind White House summit.

Private foundation grants will fund new research at universities in California and Washington state, the Forest Service will streamline the placement of seismic monitoring stations and a presidential order will tighten standards for new federal buildings.

Wonder if they are using top secret weather weapons to create some havoc.

Sounds like another money grab with all the people benefiting from this latest scare.

This is actually a real problem and thousands could die in the next big urban area quake. Many, many buildings need to be retrofitted to make them safe.

But instead of addressing real problems like this Obama and his kind have frittered away trillions on a fake problem called “climate change”. This is fraud and malfeasance on a massive scale and the key players behind it should be in jail.

What are they going to do about the Yellowstone supervolcano in the middle of the Rockies?

That would dwarf just about every other “climate change” initiative into insignificance.

Truly a new “dark age” would encompass the world.

This is an odd thing to bring out of nowhere.

The newly emerging big risk zone is around Dallas and Oklahoma City. Their seismic codes don't deal with anything other than a light quake. The left coast is in good shape comparatively.

And how are we going to prevent earthquakes.

Once again, I think someone like Trump knows how to build skyscrapers that will withstand an earthquake.

The area within several hundred miles of St. Louis should be building to earthquake standards. I just finished reading an article on potential time lines for quakes of various sizes. Have to go out until tonight but will post some estimates when I get back late.

Another New Madrid quake would cause far more loss of life than anything striking the West Coast.
