It offers the opportunity to learn from realistic disaster footage, three-dimensional shaking and earthquake reenactment, fire simulations and other advanced technology.
Naturally, all ages, from small children to senior citizens, coming individually or as a family, may experience this free of charge.

We hope you will come experience firsthand how best to protect yourself as well as the importance of helping each other during a major disaster.
