Dr Lucy Jones – 'The Earthquake Lady' – is among the world's most influential seismologists and, as a native of California, she also has the practical experience of living on shaky ground.
Dr Jones is a science adviser for the US Geological Survey and an expert on foreshocks. She was one of the first to use statistical analysis to predict the likelihood that any given tremor will be followed by a bigger one.
She talks with Wallace Chapman about bringing to life the often dull subject of preparedness.
