Description The objective of this study was to find out about San Francisco Bay Area residents' experience during and after the earthquake near Santa Cruz, California on October 17, 1989. The study examined experiences in and responses to the earthquake, in relation to their location at the time of the quake: loss of utilities, reported damage to property and personal possessions, physical injuries to respondents and others, use of the media, decisions to evacuate, contact with officials and agencies after the earthquake, psychological distress, earthquake preparedness, knowledge about what to do during an earthquake, and hearing and responding to earthquake predictions. Interviews were conducted with 656 residents of Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, San Francisco, Alameda, and San Mateo counties in California.
