What is C.E.R.I.C. or the California Earthquake Retrofitting Information Center?
It is an non-profit organization, set up by architects and civil engineers to get valuable information to the homeowner. We seek out the latest up-to-date information on Earthquake Building codes and get this, through our volunteers, this website, and other groups, to thousands of homeowners just like you. Awareness of construction options, methods, permits, blueprints and more are all here on this site to answer your questions. This site will also help you evaluate the costs of retrofitting now, or dealing with the emotional and financial aspects after a earthquake hits. You can begin answering those home retrofitting, and insurance-versus-home-equity questions here.
