text: Seismic Grants for Apartments and Multi-Family Homes will Save Lives And Help Families Recover Faster | FEMA.gov
  RIX-NR-19-03
  Oakland, Calif. – Two seismic retrofitting grants will help reduce damage to as many as 50 Oakland apartment buildings and as many as 375 single and multi-family homes. The combined $10.5 million grants include $7.9 million from FEMA and $2.6 million from non-federal sources.
  Making families significantly safer through seismic retrofits is urgently needed as scientists forecast a high probability of a major quake in the San Francisco Bay Area - specifically a major earthquake on the Hayward fault is predicted to occur in the next 30 years. Bay area counties have received more than $40 million in FEMA grants for residential earthquake retrofitting projects since the mid-1990s.
