Student & Teacher Resources

The California Seismic Safety Commission is dedicated to informing the public about seismic safety. The Student and Teacher Resource page is here to guide both students and instructors to valuable resources that will help explain and prepare for seismic events. Additionally, there is a Teacher Resource Center that helps teachers by providing tools for classroom instruction related to earth sciences. Any California school teacher may borrow materials.
