Although earthquake preparedness is your key to safely live in earthquake prone areas, Seismo-Watch prefers to leave this valuable information service to the many government and private entities available.

In this way we can develop relationships with these organization while we focus on doing what we do best and that is providing earthquake news and information.

If you have a preparedness product and service and would like to place a link here, send us a note. People helping people. Building a safer community for all. That's what it is all about.

While we build our Seismo-Watch Preparedness Page and its resources, we have developed a few in house links you may follow for more information about earthquake preparedness:
