Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) helps homeowners lessen the potential for damage during an earthquake.

Read our Social Media Policy: https://www.crmp.org/terms-of-use The Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) program provides reimbursement funds to homeowners who complete a qualifying brace and bolt seismic retrofit of the foundation of their house. A brace and bolt retrofit strengthens an existing house, making it more resistant to earthquake activity such as ground shaking and soil failure, by bolting the house to its foundation and adding bracing around the perimeter of the crawl space. See if your house qualifies for reimbursement funds at earthquakebracebolt.com

Some multi-unit buildings built before 1991 have parking or commercial space on the ground floor, with living units resting above. That design can be a serious risk in an earthquake if the ground floor hasn't been reinforced. The Earthquake Multi-Unit Retrofit (EMR) program supports retrofits like this in cities with mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit ordinances.

Myth: Only an old, run-down house needs a seismic retrofit

Fact: a pre-1980s house with a raised foundation can be just as vulnerable, even if it looks fine from the outside. The risk is underneath, in the crawl space and foundation bolts you can't see. An Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) retrofit fixes what's out of sight. Grants up to $3,000 available:

A San Francisco homeowner residing in a home built in 1926 didn't wait for the "right time" to retrofit. Through the Earthquake Soft-Story (ESS) grant program, they worked with a structural engineer and contractor to install a freestanding shear wall, strengthening their garage without losing the space. The project took patience, but the result is a home built to hold up when earthquake shaking occurs.

National Preparedness Month is a good reminder to check in on your home's earthquake readiness. Secure heavy furniture, know your gas shutoff, and talk with your household about what to do when the shaking starts.
