Thank you San Francisco Chronicle for sharing the science behind landslides and showcasing how our California Geological Survey team and State Geologist are dedicated to ensuring the safety of Californians. @CNRA #Science #Landslides #StormUpdates sfchronicle.com/weather/articl…

Many of California’s hillsides are made up of rocks that are relatively weak, as they haven’t consolidated into harder, stronger layers, explained state geologist Jeremy Lancaster.

Yesterday was International Day of Women and Girls in Science! We recognize all the incredible scientists at California Department of Conservation who are pushing boundaries and making a difference. Special appreciation to Cynthia Pridmore, a geologist with 35+ years of state service.

A M4.6 earthquake has occurred near Malibu, CA (Los Angeles Co). Weak shaking was felt across from Santa Barbara to San Bernardino to Oceanside. Aftershocks can be expected, we continue to monitor this region. #Malibu #earthquake

With lingering showers in the forecast, it’s never too late to learn how to use sandbags properly.

TRAFFIC ALERT: CHP Mojave posted Redrock Randsburg Road is closed between Highway 14 and US-395 after part of the roadway was washed away.

While we encourage all Californians to stay off the roads during this next round of storms, if you must travel, only listen to official sources for road conditions and information.

In the calm before the storm, let’s prepare to keep ourselves & our families safe over the next few days.☔️ We got this California💪🏼 More here➡️ gov.ca.gov/2024/02/02/gov…

Heavy rainfall is the main cause of mudslides and debris flows in CA.

California Governor's Office of Emergency Services has a team specialized in monitoring watershed and debris flows statewide. We want you all to be prepared if one occurs in your neighborhood.

Fighting climate change means we have to build more:
✅ Solar & wind power
✅ EV charging
✅ Flood protection
✅ Water recycling plants
✅ Wildfire fuel breaks
✅ High Speed Rail & clean transit
$41 billion is being spent across the state. Find out where!👇🏼

🎉 #ShakeOut 2023 was a fantastic success, thanks to YOU! Your commitment to earthquake preparedness is making a difference. Mark your calendars – the 2024 International ShakeOut Day will be Thursday, October 17!

Thanks to the organizers (Prof. Diego Melgar 🌊 and many others) of the new Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center CRESCENT for an engaging and productive kickoff meeting. Looking forward to future collaborations and the incredible science that the next 5 years will bring.

A M4.8 earthquake occurred in Humboldt County this morning. Light shaking was felt in near the epicenter. Aftershocks have been felt and can be expected throughout the days to come. #Petrolia #Humboldt #earthquake

.Shasta County just experienced a 5.0 magnitude earthquake. Remember, when shaking starts, seconds matter so drop, cover and hold on!
