Prepare NorCal Disaster Preparedness Resources

The San Francisco Bay Area is highly susceptible to natural disasters, particularly earthquakes and severe weather, as El Niño conditions intensify this winter. Experts predict a 63% chance of a significant earthquake occurring in the Greater Bay Area within the next 30 years, raising alarm among residents. Unfortunately, many families lack adequate preparedness, which could jeopardize their safety and financial well-being. ABC7 has assembled vital resources and tips to facilitate disaster preparedness, urging residents to create emergency kits and establish family communication plans. The California Earthquake Authority stresses the necessity of earthquake insurance, offering nearly $10 billion in claim-paying power to assist residents after catastrophic damage.

CEA's policies are uniquely available through participating insurance companies, ensuring expert service and scientifically based rates. By prioritizing preparedness, Northern Californians can better navigate the challenges posed by natural disasters. Engaging with these resources can significantly enhance community resilience in the face of potential emergencies.
