Steve Eberlein and his wife, Lydia, were living in Sri Lanka when a 9.1 subduction zone earthquake off the coast of Indonesia triggered a massive tsunami that claimed 230,000 lives across more than a dozen countries, including 35,000 in Sri Lanka. As aid workers, they were active witnesses to one of the largest multinational relief efforts in history, beginning in its earliest hours.

Only upon returning to their native Oregon did they learn that the Pacific Northwest itself is due for a historic earthquake and tsunami event. In response, Steve became an earthquake preparedness advocate and educator for the Pacific Northwest. His efforts have included a decade of work with the American Red Cross, the delivery of over 200 earthquake preparedness presentations, including an appearance at TEDx Portland. Steve currently serves as the Director of Organizational Resilience at Ethos Preparedness.
