LuAnn Johnson, a nationally-recognized disaster expert from Washington State's Emergency Management Division, explains how you and your neighbors can prepare for an earthquake emergency using the "Map Your Neighborhood" concept.

Johnson was in the region in early April 2008 to discuss "Map Your Neighborhood" at the request of Carbondale's Neighborhood Housing Action Group.
