What is The Earthquake Country Alliance (ECA)?  

The ECA's main strategy is to coordinate the earthquake information materials and programs of organizations with related missions and activities, so that the public receives information that is consistent, from multiple sources they trust, through multiple channels, and serves all California residents.

Mission

The Earthquake Country Alliance unites leaders in government, disaster response, science, business, media, education and local communities to foster a culture of earthquake and tsunami readiness in California.

Vision

• Before an earthquake or tsunami Californians take active steps to ready themselves, their families, their businesses and their communities for earthquakes. Californians perpetuate a self-sustaining culture of readiness by sharing their readiness activities with one another.
• During an earthquake or tsunami Californians take appropriate action to minimize associated injuries, loss of life and property damage.
• Afteran earthquake or tsunami Californians survive, recover and thrive.
