Silicon Valley has long been one of the major drivers of our economy, but what will happen when the region is faced with its next earthquake? The USGS has been preparing the report HayWired, which looks at the impacts that a large quake might have on the Bay Area. Learn about what we can expect, and prepare for, when it comes to the effects on the South Bay’s economy and telecommunications network. Generously sponsored by PG&E and co-presented by Joint Venture Silicon Valley.
