    Dr. Chris Goldfinger, one of the world’s leading subduction zone earthquake experts from Oregon State University, talks to students at Central Elementary School in Albany, Ore., April 24 during an assembly that was followed by an earthquake drill and building walk-through. The event was held to raise awareness and celebrate $1.5 million in seismic upgrades the school was awarded through the Seismic Rehabilitation Grant Program managed by Oregon Emergency Management. Since 2009, state-funded seismic retrofit grants have been awarded to 21 K-12 schools, three Oregon community college and university campuses, and 18 public safety facilities deemed in danger during an earthquake. The Governor’s budget requests $30 million for this priority for the next two years, and legislators will decide the final funding level later this spring.
