The leaders of the community have increased knowledge of our earthquake hazard. Most of our community members are now aware that they live in a potential earthquake prone area. The Yuma Earthquake Preparedness Program has changed since its inception in that we have expanded it to reach out to the community. It originally focused on increasing the awareness level of only those responsible for the protection of people and property. It now has reached out to educate the community members.
People can reduce the impact of disaster and sometimes avoid the danger altogether.
