In case you're one of those who has become numb to the constant beating drum
about the importance of earthquake preparedness, here's another warning: a recently released
report by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says the Big One on the
Hayward fault could wreak even more economic havoc than Hurricane Katrina. The
researchers used wage and seismic hazard data to produce their findings.
According to the report: "The Hayward Fault underlies Alameda County, a heavily
populated urban area in northern California that is home to 41,000 employers,
682,000 employees, and a total quarterly payroll of $9.3 billion. In addition,
Alameda County lies over approximately three-fourths of the length of the fault
and therefore faces the greatest potential exposure to a damaging earthquake
occurring on the fault. Geologists estimate that the fault has a 27-percent
chance of experiencing a seismic event by 2032." — Kathleen
