A Disastrous Valentine's Day

For those of you looking for an alternative (or supplement) to romantic candle-lit dinners, long-stemmed roses, and heart-shaped chocolates, the University of Memphis is hosting an Open House at the Center for Earthquake Research and Information (CERI) and a Public Forum on Disaster Preparedness this Thursday, February 14th.

Open House at CERI
2:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m., Center for Earthquake Research and Information (3892 Central)

CERI is partnering with the Mid-South Association of Contingency Planners, Memphis Light Gas and Water, Memphis & Shelby County Emergency Management Agency, and the American Red Cross to provide basic disaster preparedness and earthquake hazard information to the public. In addition to local experts, there will be displays and free information on hand.

Public Forum on Disaster Preparedness
