Up-and-coming film director, motion graphics designer and Art Center College of Design alumnus, Theo Alexopoulos, takes you on a visceral journey through the USGS ShakeOut Earthquake Scenario. The film was created by the USGS Multi-Hazards Demonstration Project in cooperation with the Designmatters program at Art Center to depict the physical, social, and economic consequences of the most comprehensive earthquake scenario ever created. The film gives the viewers a sense of what will be happening and inspires them to prepare and mitigate for a faster recovery. The premise underlying the film is that design is a powerful catalyst that can bridge the divide between scientific understanding about damaging quakes, and the ability of the public to feel empowered and to change their behavior in terms of preparedness.

the guy who wanted to move to japan why would you want do that the last earthquake i heard of was bad also theres alot of earthquakes what are you thinking
Why the hell would you want move to Japan if you want to get away from earthquakes? The seismic activity in California doesn't even compare to the seismic activity in Japan not even close. In Japan you can get a Northridge size quake at least every year, and great ones like the one being shown every decade or 2.
Computer Simulations. They put in data like the magnitude of the earthquake the time of day, estimate of amount of people out that day, building structures, water line locations, stuff like that you know. And the computer does thousands of simulations and then they get the numbers from that.
