Aftershocks: What Follows a 6.0 Magnitude Earthquake?

Just last month, Northern California had a 6.0 magnitude earthquake near the California-Nevada border. According to ABC News, “The quake jolted both sides of the California-Nevada state line, tossed boulders onto a major roadway and was felt as far off as Las Vegas and even San Francisco, with days of aftershocks predicted, authorities said.” And, the number of aftershocks… HUNDREDS!

For a detailed article and video on this event, view the coverage on ABC News.

An earthquake retrofit, more formally known as a seismic retrofit, will provide peace of mind knowing the building is equipped with the latest standards of seismic detail layouts to enhance its structural integrity.
