Please join the CAPPS team this week at their Tuesday CAPSS seminar:

On Tuesday, he will lead a discussion about the history and impact of the many earthquakes and fires that have struck the Bay Area, and what we might expect in future seismic events. Please feel free to bring your own related questions to discuss. As usual, the seminar will take place in the CAPSS office, San Francisco City Hall, Room 34 and will be followed by a brown bag lunch. Everyone is invited; earthquake program staff and interns from around the Bay Area will be attending.
