ABOUT US
🌍 Welcome to Earthquake Consulting—your not-so-ordinary hub for seismic readiness. We’re here to shake things up (pun intended) with five powerful categories designed to help you not just survive but thrive after the ground moves.
🎓 Four Training Adventures Await
-
Beyond the Code: This nationally delivered virtual training program extends beyond baseline building code requirements by providing specialized instruction on the anchoring and stabilization of furniture, fixtures, and equipment located below the ceiling plane. The curriculum is designed to equip organizations—including private enterprises, public agencies, and institutional bodies—with actionable methodologies for mitigating nonstructural hazards. Emphasizing cost-effectiveness and operational feasibility, the training underscores that true resilience encompasses proactive risk reduction measures rather than mere regulatory compliance.
-
Installation Training: For builders, engineers, and homeowners, this groundbreaking certification course teaches hands-on techniques for mitigating earthquake damage. Yes—you’ll walk away with a certificate of completion!
-
People Get Ready: Tailored for homes and families, this lively session shows you how to build resilience with what you already own. Packed with decades of wisdom, it’s fun, insightful, and budget friendly.
-
Embrace Your Disaster: Ever heard of a “Hazard Hunt”? It’s part scavenger hunt, part resilience builder, and all fun. This training makes earthquake readiness approachable for workplaces, schools, and households alike.

OPM ASSIST SERVICES
Are you a laboratory or hospital equipment manufacturer looking to get your product into California hospitals? Earthquake Consulting can help.
There is a pre-approval process with the State of California’s Office of Healthcare Planning and Access (HCAI) whereby the mandated securing method for equipment can be pre-approved, saving facilities valuable time and money. This process yields what is called an OPM, and it can be your ticket to a significant competitive advantage.
We can help. With established relationships with engineers, HCAI and a company that creates fastening solutions, Earthquake Consulting can handle the entire process for you, from opening a project with HCAI to securing a structural engineer with OPM experience all the way to approval, and the issuance of your pre-approval.
Simply reach out to us at earthquakeconsulting@gmail.com to get started. Have questions? Feel free to ask.
