What’s Lurking Beneath: A Wake-Up Call for Los Angeles

What’s Lurking Beneath: A Wake-Up Call for Los Angeles

The ground beneath us just gave a subtle reminder—Los Angeles had another earthquake. It wasn’t massive, but that’s exactly the point: you don’t need a catastrophic quake to realize how unprepared most of us are.

We’re still recovering from the wildfires that scorched our hills, the rains that soaked our streets, and the mudslides that followed. One disaster fades into the next, but none of them wait for us to catch our breath.

Now is not the time to let our guard down.

What’s lurking beneath Southern California isn’t just rock and fault lines—it’s the very real risk that we’re not ready for what comes next. That risk gets bigger every time we delay making a plan, securing our homes, or talking with our neighbors about safety.

That’s why we’ve launched several key initiatives to help YOU get prepared:

Join Us Live - Every Saturday

Because the next one may not be so forgiving.
