[Bgsa] Dr Lucy Jones at UCR

[Jon Allen]

For those of you that have grown up in this area, we have all heard 
about "The Big One" when it comes to earthquakes.  You should also be 
familiar with Dr. Lucy Jones, she is the woman that shows up on TV after 
a major quake to tell you what is going on.  If you are interested in 
what we might expect when "The Big One" does happen, I recommend the 
following talk.  I heard this talk in Irvine a month ago and I am 
convinced everyone in Southern California should hear what she has to say.

Lucy Jones, chief scientist of the Multi Hazards Demonstration Project 
for Southern California, will kick-off UCR's ShakeOut-related activities 
in an hour-long public talk she will give at 7 p.m., Oct. 21.  Her talk, 
titled "The Science Behind the ShakeOut," will take place in Room 302, 
Student Commons.  A half-hour-long panel discussion on earthquake 
preparedness and emergency response will follow Jones's presentation. 
The panelists -- UCR's Paul Walker, emergency manager in Environmental 
Health and Safety, and representatives of Riverside County and the city 
of Riverside -- will give short presentations and answer questions from 
the audience.  The talk will be preceded by an informal reception with 
refreshments.  All members of the on- and off-campus community are welcome.

doesn't work,

it's physics; and if you can't understand it, it's mathematics."
