Are we ready for the big one?

On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about earthquake preparedness. US Geological Survey forecasts that there is a 63% chance of a 6.7 or greater magnitude earthquake in the Bay Area in the next 30 years. Are we ready? Join us live at 10 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. What do we need to do in case of a big earthquake? And what can we learn from the devastating earthquake in Japan? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Abolhassan Astaneh, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at UC Berkeley.

Danielle Hutchings, Earthquake and Hazards Program Coordinator Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG).

Corey Johnson, an investigative reporter focusing on K-12 education for California Watch. He just published a three-part series looking into whether California schools meet seismic safety standards.
