6 January, 2016 - Earthquake Concerns

6 January 2016

Dear Brother and Sister Jewkes,

We have had some minor earthquakes in southern California recently. Some have received national news attention. We write to let you know that we have taken precautions to have our missionaries prepared for emergencies in a variety of ways. Earthquakes stronger than 5.5 on the Richter Scale, which may cause damage, are rare. Recent earthquakes have been 4.5 or below. These small quakes typically cause no damage and only prompt conversation about who was even able to feel them.

We want to assure you that if we have any larger earthquakes that may be cause for concern we will write to keep you informed.  In the event that communication or transportation becomes a problem in a serious emergency, we have each of the seven stakes in the mission apprised of missionary locations in their stake so that stake emergency personnel in the more immediate vicinities can quickly respond and check on missionary safety.

Again, we express our gratitude for sharing Elder Jewkes with us in the missionary work of the California Riverside Mission and want you to know that his safety is our highest priority.

Faithfully Yours,

President John H. Mullen and Sister Jana L. Mullen
