Sonoma County Has Its Faults: A Rock ‘N’ Roll Story

Join us for Dr. Jane Nielson’s explanation of the origin of our geologic hazards, why we always have to account for their effects, and how best to protect yourself and your family.
Knowledge is power and being informed of the realities of living in Sonoma County is essential, as our communities rapidly grow and expand.
- Do you know how many faults cross Sonoma County? There are 2 dangerous active faults, and many other fault breaks that could be hazardous…and they’re still finding more
