Why La Habra Homes Get Retrofitted
La Habra has an older core of pre-war homes surrounded by 1950s and 1960s tracts. Raised foundations are common in both, and many have never been bolted.
The magnitude 5.1 La Habra earthquake in March 2014 was centered here. It broke water mains and damaged homes in La Habra and neighboring Fullerton, and the Whittier Fault runs through the hills just to the north.
