February 27 – Deadline to apply for the 2017 Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) program — to help California homeowners protect their families and secure their older homes against a catastrophic earthquake. Homeowners can register online to receive up to $3,000 toward a code-compliant seismic retrofit. Santa Monica and Los Angeles are covered by the program. EBB grants are available for houses built before 1979 that include a crawl space with unbraced “cripple walls” (low walls between the foundation and first floor) and are not bolted to the foundation. In a strong earthquake, an unbolted house can topple off its foundation and unbraced cripple walls make the crawl space vulnerable to collapse. Full program rules, detailed requirements, a complete list of ZIP Codes, educational videos, registration and a Contractor Directory are all available on the program website, www.EarthquakeBraceBolt.com
