This week is the 2018 version of the Great Shakeout...October 18 at 10:18 A.M. to be precise. If you are unfamiliar with the Great Shakeout, the enclosed link will quickly get you up to speed: https://www.shakeout.org/california/index.html
This is the registration page, should you wish to take part in the exercise: https://www.shakeout.org/california/register/
If you are a ham radio operator, your local club may already be signed up on the website. If you have no ham club affiliation, this is a great time to become aware of earthquake faults in your environment and become involved with a club close to you, and/or emergency nets on 144, 220, 440 MHz, as well as the many HF nets on 80-20 meters.
Being a ham radio op will be essential and of inestimable value in times of power outages, in moderate to major disruptions of your daily activities.
The above website states that as a resident in the County of San Diego, for instance, perhaps unbeknownst to you, but you are within 15 miles of a known, active fault, like Rose Canyon, the Elsinore or San Jacinto faults. There are 25 known, active faults in San Diego.
Here is a map to help you locate the earthquake fault in relation to where you live, work or travel: https://www.shakeout.org/california/images/San_Diego_Probability_map.jpg
