Speakers

Stephen Walter who is a retired seismologist with the U.S.G.S. Steve recently spoke to the MPC Ready community on the topic of Earthquakes. His talk was so compelling that it generated additional requests for him to speak to other groups, including the Atherton A.D.A.P.T. disaster prepared organization.  Steve conveys earthquake science, with a focus on the Hayward fault, in a way that makes detailed information quite clear and compelling.
