A special Earthquake Country Alliance Symposium

Who is the ECA?

The Earthquake Country Alliance is dedicated to sharing earthquake information across California, allowing for widespread seismic preparedness for everything from tremors to tsunamis. Their approach is based on the principles of a public-private-grassroots partnership, bringing educational materials and programs to community members.

They were founded in 2003 in Southern California, coordinating the 10th anniversary of the 1994 Northridge Earthquake soon after. Over the years, they’ve built partnerships with organizations such as the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program (NEHRP), FEMA, NSF, USGS, and many others. ECA’s administrative home is the Statewide California Earthquake Center (SCEC) at USC.

ECA Events

The Earthquake Country Alliance is known for hosting and organizing two of the state’s most pivotal disaster awareness events.

Great California ShakeOut: This annual stateside drill has become one of California’s leading promotions for earthquake preparedness.

Tsunami Preparedness Week: Throughout this week the ECA shares insights and information to increase understanding of Tsunami hazards.

General Activities: The ECA’s various committees host workshops, engage with local events, and communicate with various groups to develop and share educational materials.

With this impressive yearly schedule of events and activities, we’re so thrilled that the ECA has chosen Disasters Expo USA as a platform to share its message.
