Earthquakes Threat in Southern California California’s Earthquake Preparedness Problem, Challenge and Solution Seismic Risk Mitigation Leadership Forum San Francisco, California May 2-3, 2011 Christopher Nance Chief Communications Officer California Earthquake Authority Mark Benthien Director of Communication, Education and Outreach Southern California Earthquake Center Executive Director, California Earthquake Country Alliance California has an earthquake-preparedness problem! Earthquake Preparedness Research Experts Linda Bourque, Ph.D. University of California at Los Angeles Dennis Mileti, Ph.D. University of Colorado at Boulder 2008 Survey Led by Dr. Bourque • Produced baseline data describing how prepared California residents are for earthquakes and where they get their information about preparedness and mitigation. Primary Funders – California Seismic Safety Commission (CSSC) California Emergency Management Agency (CalEMA) 2008 Survey Results • California residents are exposed to numerous ongoing programs and recommended actions designed to increase household earthquake preparedness and mitigation. • Most of the actions Californians have taken are simple preparations; relatively few households have acted to mitigate losses and reduce injuries. • Over 80% of California residents have collected information about earthquake preparedness from TV anchors or reporters and, to a lesser extent, radio hosts or reporters (58.6%), schools (54.1%), and friends and relatives (50.6%). 2008 Survey Results, continued • Intuition has most frequently been used as the basis for developing the content and dissemination of earthquake preparedness and mitigation programs in California; evidence-based knowledge about how to motivate people to get ready has been underutilized. • Messages on earthquake preparedness and mitigation developed specifically for dissemination in California have low market penetration. 2008 Survey Recommendations • Disseminate a standardized message to households about earthquake preparedness and mitigation. • Coordinate the content and dissemination efforts of information providers so that they constitute an ongoing stream of communication across time and targets. Central Bay Area Coast Redwood Southern Coast California Standardized Message 2009 Study Led by Dr. Mileti • Mega-study on public readiness. • Most people don’t perceive risk to high-consequence, low- probability events. • They perceive personal safety from nature’s fury and other disaster types. • And they’re right…most of the time. Primary Funder – U.S. Department of Homeland Security 2009 Study Results Two key factors that drive public action: • “Received” information from multiple sources, over multiple channels, about actions to take, how to cut losses, and is consistent across messages. • “Observed” information through clues, watching others take actions. 2009 Study Recommendations • Don’t try to motivate the public with increased probabilities. • Convince groups to stop providing unique messages, branded messages work best. • Provide information from as many different sources as possible. • Distribute the same information over many and diverse channels. • It’s better to communicate over time; not just for a day or a week. 2009 Study Didn’t Cover Everything • Covered process to motivate public readiness • Didn’t cover content (exactly what to say) and style (how it’s presented) YIKES! More work to do! California earthquake-preparedness stakeholders now know the process to “motivate” public readiness. But California earthquake-preparedness stakeholders remain challenged on exactly what to say. CEA-led Research Study • Retained Harris Interactive (HI) to identify and understand the underlying earthquake- preparedness needs and motivations for California residents. • Developed a communications template, or map, depicting the decision-making thought process that have provided a blueprint for action. • Retained Ogilvy Public Relations to assist with creative treatment for research result. Primary Funders – California Earthquake Authority (CEA), and; U.S. Department of Homeland Security grant sought through California Emergency Management Agency (CalEMA) Harris Interactive Study Foundation • We know that people will allow themselves to be persuaded with rational arguments about specific and salient features of messages and the functional benefits associated with them, but California residents are more likely to be motivated to act when these arguments tap into their emotions and personal values. • The most effective messages complete the linkages between the tangible components of the benefit being offered and the person. • Stated another way – the fundamental premise of strategic positioning is that you “persuade by reason and motivate through emotion.” Communicate THROUGH the brain TO the heart for ACTION! Harris Interactive Study Design • Sought to answer questions about the relationships between California residents and issues that are impossible to answer using traditional survey research or focus group techniques. • Provided an understanding of how consumers link the attributes of the earthquake-preparedness issue with their own functional, emotional and personal values. Harris Interactive Summary Map Harris Interactive Summary Map Harris Interactive Top-Line Statements • It’s my responsibility to take steps to protect my family or me and prepare for the event of an earthquake. • Being prepared for an earthquake will help my family or me survive and recover. • Being prepared for an earthquake is important to keeping my family or me safe and secure. • Being prepared for an earthquake will help my family or me be ready to react when it happens. • Taking steps to protect my family or me from an earthquake helps me be in control. Draft Message Summary Statement • “Preparing for the next damaging earthquake can help you survive and recover.” • Execution to evoke “responsibility” as appropriate. • Creative mantra TBD. You paid how much for that summary statement? I could have told you that! Harris Interactive Summary Map California earthquake-preparedness stakeholders now have a message solution! Now how do we run with a standardized message? Earthquake Country Alliance (ECA) • Statewide coalition of earthquake and preparedness organizations and advocates – SCEC, USGS, CalEMA, FEMA, CEA, Red Cross, Caltech, State Farm, and others • Builds upon years of research in science and preparedness • Identifies and integrates resources • Creates and coordinates programs including the Great California ShakeOut www.earthquakecountry.org ECA Plan-for-Programs ECA already seeking to do what the doctors ordered: • Standardizing (branding) the message. • Deriving synergies from coordinating distribution of content. • Distributing content from many sources and through many channels. • Sustaining communications over time. ECA Learning to Run with a Branded Message • Introducing information through summary message: “Preparing for the next damaging earthquake can help you survive and recover.” • Executing programs to evoke “responsibility” as appropriate. • Organizing supporting information under three categories: prepare, survive and recover. What do people need to know?

At the time the sound level meters were installed, the wind was gusting to about 2.5 to 5 m/s and most WTG’s in the vicinity of the sites were operating. Similar conditions were observed when the meters were removed on Tuesday, the 17th. Measurements at the LT1 site were at a location about 1000 feet to the west of Azevedo Road and 0.85 miles south of SR 12 near Residence #18 (Figure 4). The hourly noise level data for the measurement period is presented in Figure 5.

    Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of ) ) Amendment of Section 73.3556 of the ) MB Docket No. 19-310 Commission’s Rules Regarding Duplication of ) Programming on Commonly Owned Radio Stations ) ) Modernization of Media Regulation ) MB Docket No. 17-105 Initiative ) Reply Comments of Kern Community Radio This reply comment is from nonprofit Kern Community Radio (“Kern”). Kern is a prospective non-commercial community broadcaster in Bakersfield, California. Kern is supplying this comment to shed light on the reality of how duplicated- and rebroadcast- programming is an epidemic. Redundant and relayed programming is hollowing-out local radio, vastly reducing programming diversity, and frustrating diverse new broadcast entrants. This reply is being filed as a response to National Association of Broadcasters’ (“NAB”) comment stating that diversity has increased on the dail, advocating the lift of the duplication rule. Kern provides proof in this reply that the program duplication rules need to be expanded to ensure local programming diversity and allow for new entrants. About Kern Community Radio Members of Kern Community Radio had desired to pursue a non-commercial, educational community radio station for Bakersfield in 2006 due to the total absence of any local local secular non-commercial radio. Bakersfield, a metropolitan area of roughly 840,000 people, does not have one local-studio secular, non-commercial radio station. That includes no secular LPFM, no local-content NPR station,1 no community station, or no college station. The entire non-commercial FM band except for one station is all relayed via satellite from chiefly religious broadcasters from Texas, Idaho, and Northern California.
