CA Watch Releases "On Shaky Ground" - a 19-Month Investigation Into Seismic Safety in CA Public Schools May 2nd, 2011

A 19-month investigation by California Watch, a project of the Center for Investigative Reporting, reveals how the Division of the State Architect has routinely failed to fully enforce the Field Act, California’s landmark earthquake safety law for public schools, allowing children and teachers to occupy buildings with structural flaws and potential safety hazards.

The multi-part series includes a searchable and interactive map to locate individual schools and potential hazards, rich video content, an iPhone app, a coloring book on earthquake preparedness for kids and resources for taking action.
