As I'm sure you all know, Memphis is near the New Madrid fault and has been the site of some major natural disasters. There was an earthquake so serious that the river flowed backwards.
So, on the heels of the disaster in Japan, MCA is distributing information on how to deal with a crisis.
Please read the below, from Jonathan Welden, MCA's Director of Physical Plant.
