Hi,
I made a recent post asking if there was a high chance of there being an earthquake in san jose CA (I'm moving there soon from Great Britain). The answers were very helpful but a little worrying as most of them said yes there is.....as I can't move anywhere else but San Jose ( My green card is through family and I'm living with parent) I would like to know the following:-
Can you predict an earthquake, and are there any warning signs and alarms?
Are buildings in San Jose 'earthquake proof'
Are roads etc 'Earthquake proof'
Do Californians have safety training in what to do in the event of an earthquake and if so can I get that training when I go over from anywhere?
I studied earthquakes as part of gcse geography and got a very good grade but that was a few years ago now and I've forgotten most of what I learnt. The main reason for my fear is seeing footage of motorways collapsing in an 80's quake, people being crushed...so any help would be gratefully received! thanks
