WE ARE NO STRANGER TO EARTHQUAKES IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS.
Recently, it's been small tremors that shake things, and occasionally bust a pipe or fracture a wall. But the VI also had larger quakes in the past, destroying homes and buildings. And we've all seen the devastation that they can cause, after witnessing the events that occurred a few years ago with our neighbors in Puerto Rico.
The best way to prepare for and mitigate the impacts of earthquakes is to build properly, or retrofit properly. Join us for an exciting webinar about engineering for earthquakes in the USVI where we'll learn best practices to protect ourselves, our loved ones and our property against a powerful natural hazard.
