“Before you buy, sell or lease land in Mendocino or Lake counties, it’s smart to be familiar with the geologic risks and their potential impacts. This two-day class is designed to provide home owners, real estate professionals and others with the knowledge to make informed decisions about the land the live on,” Beale added.
Topics for the class include faults and earthquakes, the Earthquake Fault Zoning Act, landslides and slope instability, mineral hazards, resources and rights, coastal and stream erosion, flood zones, wells and septic systems, and information about county plans and regulations.
“We’ll pay special attention to information about local earthquake faults and other aspects of local and regional geology,” Beale said.
Cost for the one unit college class is $38 for California resident new students. Preregistration and a college application is required.
