The Big Rumble

“Ready to Rumble Block Parties” are being held across the Bay Area the weekends of April 17th as well as October 23rd.  The Big Rumble™ has funding available to help you host your very own!

Getting to know your neighbors can go a long way, both during good times as well as difficult ones.  Connect with your neighbors while equipping them with preparedness resources at your very own event.  The Big Rumble makes it easy by providing a Block Party Toolkit which includes step-by-step instructions as well as a grant application. 

The Big Rumble is a biannual series of events designed to connect the Bay Area with preparedness resources during Earthquake Preparedness Month (April) and the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake Anniversary (October). These events include resource fairs in participating cities, the Great California Shakeout and residential block parties, among others.

The Big Rumble™ Goals

The Big Rumble is dedicated to helping the Bay Area and the state of California become more aware of the risks we face from earthquakes, be informed about what can be done and how we, as a community, can be prepared for future quakes and other natural disasters. We aim to accomplish this by way of three approaches. First is the organization and hosting of a bi-annual event called The Big Rumble Resource Fairs and Block Parties. These are held each October and April around the anniversaries of the Loma Prieta and 1906 quakes and promote community building, awareness, preparedness and information. Second, The Big Rumble partners with cities to promote other preparedness-related events and to share local information with citizens. Finally and most importantly, The Big Rumble provides ongoing readiness tools through its website, preparedness check list, newsletters and other points of contact to help users become and stay prepared for future seismic events in our area. It is our hope that The Big Rumble will become a trusted source of information for Bay Area families and communities.
