In California, just like much of the world, earthquakes are a fact of life. And while most residents of the Golden State might be pretty used to the occasional short quake rattling their plates, most of us prefer not to think about the next big earthquake that is certain to come, one time or another.

The host and producers of KPCC’s podcast, “The Big One,” join Insight to discuss what they’ve learned about the how to survive the eventuality of California’s next big tremblor.
