["New research on earthquakes presented to mark the 100th anniversary of this city's great quake paints a disquieting picture of California's preparedness for a major temblor.
The overarching message of scientists gathered here was twofold. First, future quakes could easily do more damage than past ones because the population of California continues to increase and there are more buildings in areas near fault lines on soft ground susceptible to liquefaction. Second, the state must do more to retrofit vulnerable buildings." Los Angeles Times (April 21, 2006) 1.]
