Why San Fernando Homes Get Retrofitted
The City of San Fernando is one of the oldest communities in the San Fernando Valley, with a large share of small wood-frame homes built before 1960 on raised foundations.
The 1971 San Fernando earthquake, magnitude 6.6, is named for this city. It is the earthquake that pushed California to rewrite its building codes, and many homes that rode it out have still never been bolted.
