The Beverly Hills/Greater Los Angeles Association of REALTORS® today announced the launch of a campaign to offer earthquake survival kits to local residents.
“This campaign is the latest example of our commitment to serve and help our community,” said CEO Edward Segal.
Unlike most other natural disasters, earthquakes strike suddenly, without warning and can occur any time of the year, day or night. The Federal Emergency Management Administration says that California experiences the most frequent damaging earthquakes.
