Earthquake Preparedness Class!!
Come to the Architectural Heritage Center’s discussion coming up on May 11 from 10am-12pm.
“The Pacific Northwest and the Portland area face the threat of impending earthquakes. This program examines what Portland-area homeowners can do to increase the chance that their houses will survive. Dr. Scott Burns, retired professor of geology at Portland State University and international speaker, will explain the complex seismic fault lines that run through the Portland area and how buildings behave in an earthquake. Steve Gemmell, owner of Earthquake Tech, will describe the step-by-step procedure for bolting your house and other improvements that can help your house in a seismic event. Troy Noland, independent agent with Farmers Agency Insurance, will explain earthquake insurance options for homeowners.
