Sen. Dodd: April is Earthquake Preparedness Month

Senator Bill Dodd reminds everyone to be prepared for natural disasters including earthquakes

Earthquakes are common in California. Surprisingly, many Californians don't consider themselves at risk unless they live on or near the line of a well-known fault, such as the San Andreas or Hayward Fault.

I want to make sure you and your loved ones don't get caught unprepared for the next big quake. For tips on how to prepare for an earthquake, visit the California Seismic Safety Commission.
