      Los Angeles County Business Federation (BizFed) Announces Earthquake Preparedness Seminars

      The series of earthquake preparedness seminars focuses on creating "more resilient businesses before disaster strikes."

      In the aftermath of this summer’s 7.1 earthquake in Ridgecrest, Calif. and widespread destruction caused by wildfires in surrounding areas, leading experts will present information to help local business leaders prepare for the hazards in Los Angeles County.

      The Los Angeles County Business Federation (BizFed) will hold a series of Earthquake Preparedness seminars. Presentations will examine steps that can be taken today to create more resilient businesses before disasters strike.

      BizFed Founding Chief Executive Officer Tracy Hernandez

      “These seminars will present very timely and important information on how to protect your business, property, employees and tenants” says BizFed Founding Chief Executive Officer Tracy Hernandez.  “We encourage local businesses and organizations to learn how they can prepare for and respond to the natural hazards facing all communities in Los Angeles County.”

      “Increasing public awareness of how businesses can make our cities safer is the major goal of these seminars,” says Ali Sahabi, chief operating officer of Optimum Seismic and a leader in seismic resiliency and sustainability.

      “There is a great deal at stake,” says Sahabi. “USC researchers estimate the eight-county region of Southern California could suffer property damage of $113 billion in a major earthquake, with additional business-related impacts of $68 billion or more.”

      “Recovery from a major earthquake that directly hits our densely populated urban area will take years, if not decades,” adds Sahabi. “FEMA estimates 40% of businesses that close their doors as a result of disasters will never reopen.”

      “Protecting our existing business community and growing new, high-quality jobs in our area is a vital part of the mission of the Southern California Association of Governments,” says Kome Ajise, executive director of SCAG. “These seminars are intended to enhance the seismic resilience of our businesses, which is one of the most pressing challenges facing Southern California. “

      The seminars will be held at five convenient locations throughout Los Angeles County.  The seminar dates and locations are:

      Wed., Sept. 11 – Four Points by Sheraton, 5990 Green Valley Cir, Culver City

      Wed., Sept. 25 – Ganahl Lumber Center, 2600 Del Amo Blvd, Torrance
