>Folks,
>
>I was taken to task (in a very nice way) a week or so ago when I
>ended a thread on earthquakes (on NORCAL, I think). While I stood by
>my decision (since the message content at the time was non-emergency
>related), I realized we do have a rootsweb void here in California
>regarding earthquakes. So (fool that I am) I've created a new list:
>
>CA-EARTHQUAKE-L (and D).
>
>I envision this list to be SOLELY devoted to California earthquakes
>any place, any time. I expect there will be a great deal of list
>traffic directly after earthquakes (ie Hector week before last) and
>around anniversaries (ie Oct. 17, 1999 - the ten year anniversary of
>Loma Prieta). However, we can use it as a forum for earthquakes
>preparedness and a repository for earthquake-related URLS.
>
>I would hope that everyone will subscribe even if there is little or
>no traffic in the event that there is an earthquake and we still have
>access to our computers, we can use the list as a clearinghouse and a
>base station. I also am only able to post this to the lists I
>subscribe to, so if those of you on other CA lists, please pass the
>message on.
>
>This list BY NO MEANS replaces local and state emergency response
>however it may be a means for the rootsweb community to stay in
>contact - especially as we know each other so well already.
>
>I'm very open to the content and management of CA-EARTHQUAKE. I have
>no real preconceived vision for the list other than what is listed
>above. Although earthquakes happen every where, California is
>uniquely conscious of earthquake activity. This is our list. I
>expect a certain amount of "chat" and earthquake anecdotes but please
>try to stay ontopic and relevant.
>
>Please do not debate the merits of this list these lists but feel
>free to either email me privately or subscribe to CA-EARTHQUAKE and
>post your thoughts!
>
>To subscribe to the list version, send email to
> with nothing but the word
>SUBSCRIBE in the body text. For digest, send your message to
