In 1989, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake shook Santa Cruz and its
surrounding cities damaging infrastructure and changing lives
forever. To commemorate the 30 th anniversary of the Loma

histories from the Santa Cruzans who lived through it.

Libraries across the county will also be hosting a series of
workshops and lectures focused on various aspects of
emergency preparedness and disaster response. Times, dates,
locations and topics will vary. Visit our Calendar of Events for
