Lucy Harter in front of her historic home which was seismicly retrofitted to sustain earthquakes. Professional contracters bolted the house to the foundation and the supports to the crossbeams for retrofitting. They also used earthquake putty and put locks on the doors of their furniture to prevent damage. Photo by Andrea Booher/ FEMA News Photo
