April 18, 2006 marked the 100th anniversary of the San Francisco earthquake and fire, a seminal event in the scientific study of earthquakes as well as in the cultural and social history of California. The 1906 Earthquake Centennial Alliance was formed to help coordinate and promote efforts and activities between organizations throughout Northern California planning to commemorate the earthquake. The 100th anniversary provided a unique opportunity to:
- increase public awareness of seismic hazard and promote earthquake preparedness and mitigation.
- explore the ways in which this major natural disaster affected the personal lives, culture, economy and development of Northern California.
