Earthquake Preparation Reminder

Did you know that a small earthquake occurred under the Los Alamitos / Rossmoor area this weekend? On Saturday, April 24, 2010, at about 10:59 P.M., a magnitude 2.0 earthquake shook approximately 7 miles below the intersection of Bostonian Dr. and Foster Rd. For more information, see the USGS site regarding this event.

Earthquakes like this occur all the time in Southern California, but they serve as a reminder to prepare for large events such as those that recently impacted Haiti, Chile, and China. For more information, visit our Emergency Preparation Center page at www.LosAlamitosPolice.org for a list of resources to help your family and business prepare for earthquakes and other disasters.

Be Safe. Be Prepared.
