The president and CEO of the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, Maria S. Salinas is in the program for special introductory comments on the importance of flexibility.

“Business resilience in the region is a key focus of the Chamber.

The story continues

“Earthquakes can have devastating effects on at-risk buildings, people, and our economy, but they don’t have to be disasters,” says American Resilience Council Executive Director Evan Reis, PE, SE, which hosts the video show. “The examples shared in this webinar show how community resilience is being successfully improved one building at a time.”

Past speakers on the series include California Treasurer Fiona Ma, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, California Association member Adrien Nazarian, and national and regional leaders in resilience, building design, business development, social services, and environmental concerns.

Nearly 60 governmental, commercial, educational, social, and environmental nonprofit leaders spoke throughout the series about the importance of building resilience to achieve key goals. These goals include:

Economic stability: to avoid widespread devastation and shutdown of local economies that could lead to billions of dollars in losses to societies and the state.

Safe Society: To maintain important housing, businesses, services and jobs necessary for the stability of our society, thereby avoiding catastrophic displacement, disruption and homelessness.

Environmental health: To avoid overburdening landfills and the risk of exposure to toxic substances such as asbestos and lead, which can seep into the environment from the rubble of old, failed structures.

“There’s a lot at stake — California’s economic survival and quality of life per se,” said Ali Sahabi, co-founder of Optimum Seismic, a pioneer in earthquake modification and resilience movement. “These webinars show property owners and businesses how to protect their investments, operations, and employees as part of their business plans.”

“If they don’t take earthquake threats seriously and act quickly, landlords and tenants risk building collapse, business failure, liability, bankruptcy and more,” he added. “The bottom line is that the economic benefits of earthquake resistance are impossible – and dangerous – to ignore.”
