When the Loma Prieta earthquake let loose 10 years ago, it shook more than just homes, it shook the very foundation of the belief that the Big One will happen here "someday." With scientists assuring us that we still had the Big One to come, earthquake preparedness became very popular after Loma Prieta--for a time. Then a collective amnesia set in, and many people fell into the "someday" way of thinking once again. Every April, the state tries to shake Californians out of their complacency with Earthquake Preparedness Month. When the special programs and news stories go away, however, it's out of sight, out of mind. So emergency preparedness officials are hoping to capitalize on Y2K--not to scare people, but to suggest that getting ready for any emergency is not such a bad idea.
