Listen "Loma Prieta Earthquake, 36 years later: What we know now"
Episode Synopsis
This is Ask An Expert, where every weekday at 9:20am, KCBS is giving you direct access to top experts in various fields.
Today marks 36 YEARS since the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake hit the San Francisco Bay Area.
The 6.9 magnitude quake was responsible for 63 deaths and more than 3700 injuries, and it dealt $10 billion worth of damage across the region.
It also became a turning point for earthquake preparedness and education and gave rise to urban policies that are still shaping the Bay Area today.
To break it all down, KCBS's Steve Scott spoke with Greg Beroza, Professor of Geophysics at Stanford University and co-director of the California Earthquake Center; and Evan Reis, structural engineer and both the Executive Director of the US Resiliency Council and Executive Vice President of Safehub.
