Guided Earthquake Reaction

Journalists are professionals who often report from war zones and dangerous neighborhoods. Despite their courage, they still experience fear when threatened. Such was the case when an earthquake struck during a KTLA broadcast. The anchors reacted instantly, running to safety and yelling that an earthquake was happening. Their terror in that moment illustrates that despite their courage, journalists are still human.

When an earthquake strikes while a reporter is broadcasting, the situation can be chaotic and unpredictable. Hosts must quickly assess the situation and take action to ensure their safety, while at the same time providing accurate and timely information to their viewers.
