The 16^th Annual “Earthquakes: Mean Business” Seminar will take place Friday, February 5, 2010, from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM in St. Louis, Mo.  Due to the continued growth in popularity of this seminar, we have moved to a larger venue. The 2010 seminar will be held in the Wool Ballroom on the lower level of the Busch Student Center on the campus of St. Louis University.

This free seminar is a public outreach offering of the regional geoscience, engineering, and emergency management community.  It is an effort to showcase the issue of earthquake hazards and earthquake risk in the central United States and how we can better prepare for it.  This seminar is appropriate for anyone interested in earthquakes, earthquake risk and mitigation, emergency management, business continuity, or citizen preparedness.
