The solution seems obvious...start charging for your predictions. ;)

Hi Brian,

Well, as you know you can't do that in California due to XY&Z.

Awwww...comeon....since when did a little old law stop anybody? ;)

Brian,

Let's be clear about one thing: According to the USGS an M6.5 could
strike on the Hayward Fault at any time. That's their forecast/
prediction and I do believe they're right. And according to the Red
Cross only 17% of Californian's are ready the next earthquake. The
California Department of Insurance reports only 17% of Californians'
have earthquake insurance compared to 46% before Northridge. Are we
ready? NO. Will we be before the next M 6.0 or greater quake
arrives? NO. Under the circumstances would another prediction be
beneficial? Probably Not.

What's wrong with all of the above? Only one thing. Everyone has
heard this same story over and over again in the same monotone voice
and they're tuning it out. Could it be done differently. You Bet
Cha. Do the powers that be who could do this differently want to?
No. It's the same old song. There's no money, even though it could be
done for nearly nothing.

And what is on the agenda at the California Seismic Safety Commission
this year? Nothing new. Their work this year is devoted to reviewing
the data collection to determine if Calfiornia Schools meet the
requirements of the Field Act. That's a project that was funded three
years ago and now they're doing the tally. But insofar as I am aware,
there are no new legislative directives for 2008.

Don't forget to Duck, Cover & Hug......

Petra :-)
