Recent media coverage has put the spotlight on seismic activity and the likelihood of a great earthquake affecting Southern California. Personal preparedness is your best defense in a disaster and that is why the CSUN CERT Council has put together an exhibition in the Oviatt Library on Emergency Preparedness. This exhibit was put together to showcase remembering past disasters– reviewing present ones and preparing for the future in the world of emergency preparedness. Also incorporated is the emergency preparedness cycle of hazard mitigation, preparedness, planning, response and recovery. In addition different earthquake and disaster videos are being screened in the Oviatt lobby.
