Here’s a new, free resource to help our community stay prepared for earthquakes and tsunamis. It’s called SafeHome, a civic tech initiative that helps San Francisco residents understand and prepare for earthquake and tsunami risks.
What is SafeHome?
SafeHome is a user-friendly online tool that provides clear risk assessments and actionable preparedness tips. With just an address lookup, you can get a personalized safety profile for your home. This initiative was created through a collaboration between SF Civic Tech, the SF Department of Emergency Management, and the Berkeley Seismology Lab.

“SafeHome is designed to give peace of mind and empower residents with actionable safety information,” says Leela Solomon, Project Lead of SafeHome. This tool is a great way to be proactive about your safety and the safety of your loved ones. We encourage everyone in our neighborhood to take a few minutes to check out their home’s risk profile.
