Description
Looking at the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in San Francisco, Bruce Bolt has positive views of the behavior of the populace and the intensive media coverage. While critical knowledge was gained from the earthquake, he says California must have the wit and will to apply it effectively. Bolt defines the points that drag down risk reduction efforts and emphasizes the serious regressive effects if earthquake hazard reduction programs are unsuccessful. Bolt was a professor of seismology and director of the Seismographic Stations at the University of California, Berkeley, 1963-91.
