Steve Eberlein’s experience during the Sri Lanka tsuna- mi in 2004 inspired a career focused on promoting pre- paredness in the Northwest, developing over a decade while working for the Red Cross in Oregon. In 2016 he published “Pre- pare Out Loud,” a community preparedness program aimed at building resilience after a 9.0-magnitude Cascadia Sub- duction Zone earthquake.
