*Background.* Recent earthquakes in Alaska and California serve as stark 
reminders of the damage that these events can do. We also know that 
nearly all states in the U.S. experience moderate to major earthquake 
risk, with many regions being subject to potentially catastrophic 
impacts. In light of this risk, how can we ensure that our school 
buildings are safe and that our school leaders are prepared for these 
events? This free webinar will tackle these questions head 
on—acknowledging that in many parts of the U.S. and around the world, 
school buildings are highly vulnerable to significant damage or collapse 
in earthquakes. There are, however, many actionable steps we can take to 
prepare for and mitigate the most severe consequences of these events. 
This webinar will focus on the earthquake risks we face and what we can 
do about them to help ensure our schools are stronger and safer.

*Intended Audience.* The intended audience for this webinar includes 
K-12 school administrators, school emergency managers, school facilities 
managers, school board members, teachers, representatives of parent 
groups, and others interested in improving school natural hazard safety 
with a specific focus on earthquakes. Engineers and building 
professionals who are interested in communicating the importance of 
school natural hazard safety to decision-makers may also find this 
webinar useful.
