About

The video describes the HayWired Scenario, which is a study about what could happen if a big earthquake hit the San Francisco Bay Area. The scenario looks at possible damage to buildings, roads, and power lines. It also talks about how people and emergency services might respond during and after the earthquake. The goal is to help communities prepare for disasters like this in the future by understanding what might go wrong and how to fix it quickly.
