QuakeSmart Chambers

In 2008, QuakeSmart meetings were held with the local Chambers of Commerce listed below. Each meeting involved a luncheon and a 2-hour presentation that educated attendees about the positive economic benefits of earthquake mitigation for businesses, and the resources available to them. All events were widely attended and received great press coverage in both news print and television.
