Earthquake Threats

The Big One

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Did you hear OPB Radio Think Out Loud this morning? The entire show was dedicated to discussing the very real earthquake threat Oregon / SW Washington faces. One commenter gave a 10-15% guarantee that “the big one,” meaning a giant earthquake, will hit our region sometime in the next 50 years.

Our response? The very best way we know to protect yourself and your home is to be prepared. Our job is to ensure homes are protected from any seismic activity, as well tsunami and landslide issues, with quality retrofit services. Homeowners who get it are the ones calling us right now to guard their property against potential damage. It’s like anchoring a boat to harbor so it doesn’t sail away or crash into another boat. It just makes sense. Plus the comfort of knowing your home is bolted down feels pretty darn good.

During my interview with a local news TV channel recently I put it this way: You either get it or you don’t.
