On Thursday, January 8, 2008 a magnitude 4.5 earthquake stuck San Bernardino .   Felt across much of Southern California , only minor damage was reported.  The moderate earthquake was followed by two aftershocks, one measuring magnitude 3.3 and the second with a magnitude of 1.7.  The most important thing to do during an earthquake is to DUCK under a sturdy table, COVER your head and neck, and HOLD ON until the shaking stops.  While we cannot predict earthquakes, we can take steps to prepare for them.  Please READ MORE for Earthquake Preparedness Information, and view the BE RED CROSS READY presentation on this website for information on how you can prepare for any type of emergency.
