B. Earthquake Guides
The California Seismic Safety Commission has developed a “Homeowner’s
Guide to Earthquake Safety.” The guide includes information on geologic
and seismic hazards, explanations of related structural and nonstructural
hazards, recommendations for mitigating earthquake damage, and a
statement that safety cannot be guaranteed with respect to a major
earthquake and that only precautions such as retrofitting can be undertaken
to reduce the risk of various types of damage. The Seismic Safety
Commission has also developed a “Commercial Property Owner’s Guide to
Earthquake Safety.” These guides are available at www.seismic.ca.gov or
