"I highly recommend Steven Eberlein to anyone who wants to have a great presentation on earthquake resiliency in the Pacific Northwest. I worked with him for many years at the Red Cross, and his presentations were superb and engaging! They got people to rise to a level of action that got themselves ready. All of the ideas he presents are superb! He is a talented speaker!”

“All I have to say is...wow!!! Although I had seen his TEDx Talk and knew what a great speaker he was, Steve’s simply tremendous live and in person. And more importantly, I think he had a serious influence on the attendees of our disaster symposium. His presentation was informative, incredibly engaging and action-oriented -- exactly what our audience needs and loves."

Preparedness and the Myth of Knowledge
Have you ever met someone who’s never ridden a bike, heard a song on the radio, received a piece of mail, pet a cat, eaten an apple, caught a cold or seen an ice cube? That’s because you’ve never been to North Sentinel Island, nor should you ever go.
Ode to the Shakeout
I love the awkwardness, I love people’s reluctance to participate, I love the slow domino effect of begrudging cooperation, I love the embarrassed laughter of people returning to their seats.

Newly married to his Klamath Falls childhood sweetheart and teaching Spanish at The British School in Sri Lanka, he hadn’t give much thought to anything around that time, other than recovering from dengue fever. All that changed, however, when a tsunami in the Indian Ocean, triggered by a 9.0 magnitude subduction zone earthquake.
