">PASADENA (CBSLA.com) — A pair of minor earthquakes that rattled the Westside over the weekend are more common than one may think, but that doesn’t mean residents shouldn’t be prepared, a seismologist said Monday
The two quakes were both centered about two miles north of El Segundo, with one on Friday registering magnitude-3.2 and a second, less powerful magnitude-2.8 temblor striking the area on Sunday.
No injuries or damages were reported after either incident.
Dr. Lucy Jones of Cal Tech and the U.S. Geological Survey told KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO these types of swarms are not exactly a rare occurrence.
“A magnitude-3 happens somewhere in Southern California a couple times a week,” Jones said. “This one just happened to be near a lot of people ’cause it was near LAX.”
According to Jones, the Los Angeles basin had experienced multiple magnitude-3 quakes and at least one damaging earthquake every year for seven years before the catastrophic 1994 quake in Northridge.
However, Jones did caution that the recent absence of a major quake in the Southland does raise some concerns.
“We do need to remember that the last 20 years has been a particularly quiet time in the history of Southern California,” she said. “The present quiet is not the long-term normal, and people do need to know that a some point, we’re going to be having more earthquakes than we’ve had recently.”
A USGS event map shows Friday’s quake was felt as far north as La Cañada Flintridge and as far south as Huntington Beach.
No injuries or damages were reported after either incident.

Renowned art dealer, curator and radio personality Molly Barnes has joined West Los Angeles College as an artist in residence. In addition to sharing her wealth of experience and knowledge with the college’s aspiring artists, she will coordinate a free, bring your lunch lecture series for the college that is also open to the public.
The series begins this spring on Wed. April 24 from 12 – 3 p.m. in the Fine Arts Theater at West with the topic, “A Career in Art – To Do’s and To Don’ts.”
Samuel Freeman, owner of the Samuel Freeman Gallery, will share his top 10 list of how to break into the art world and what not to do. Other panelist include Tressa Williams, director of the George Billis Gallery L.A; Tim Nye, owner of Nye + Brown and Donna Stein, associate director of the Wende Museum Postwar Artifacts.
The Wende Museum preserves the cultural artifacts and personal histories of Cold War-era Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union to inform and inspire a broad understanding of the period and its enduring legacy. It houses more than 60,000 objects from Communist-era Eastern Europe, including furniture and décor, paintings, sculptures, posters, flags and banners, signs, political propaganda, clothing, tapestries, textiles, books, scrapbooks, films, electronics, remnants of Checkpoint Charlie and the longest stretch of the original Berlin Wall outside of Germany. The Wende is simultaneously an archive of material culture and educational institution, fusing interdisciplinary scholarship with its programs.
The Wende Museum recently acquired the old Culver City Armory building, enabling it to open the world’s largest Cold War visual archive.
All of the galleries represented at the WLAC talk are located in or adjacent to Culver City’s Art District referred to as a “nascent Chelsea” by the New York Times.
Guests should park in the South Parking Structure, which is immediately adjacent to the Fine Arts Theater. A parking pass can be purchased for $2.00 at the pass dispenser machines. Exact change (coins or bills) is required.

What is CERT?
Local government prepares for everyday emergencies. However, during a disaster, the number and scope of incidents can overwhelm conventional emergency services. The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program is an all-risk, all-hazard training. This valuable course is designed to help you protect yourself, your family, your neighbors and your neighborhood in an emergency situation.
CERT is a positive and realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations where citizens may initially be on their own and their actions can make a difference. While people will respond to others in need without the training, one goal of the CERT program is to help them do so effectively and efficiently without placing themselves in unnecessary danger. In the CERT training, citizens learn to:
SIGN UP FOR THE CERT TRAINING CLASS: info@brentwoodcommunitycouncil.org
Send your name, email and/or phone (if you do not do email)
Questions? Phone 310-472-4733 (Jerry)
*The Los Angeles Fire Department is pleased to provide disaster preparedness training. The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program is a 17½ hour disaster preparedness course This program is the Nationally Accepted Federal Standard for community response team training.

As part of an effort to arm women in Malibu with skills to defend themselves, a Malibu High School parent group will offer self defense classes on campus next week.
The first “Don’t Be A Victim! Safety and Self-defense Training” is set for 1 p.m. Friday, Jan. 25 in the old gym at Malibu High School. Two other classes are scheduled for Feb. 15 and April 19.
The class, which is open to all women in Malibu, is the brainchild of Mindy Peterson, a MHS parent and the public relations coordinator for the school’s Parent Teacher Student Association.
“How do we empower our young women?” Peterson said of her idea that came in the wake of the kidnapping and carjacking of a 17-year-old girl on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu in June. Due to the actions of two Good Samaritans, the girl was rescued and the kidnapper was taken into custody.
While the kidnapping may have been unique Malibu, Peterson said she felt it was a wake-up call to arm the women of Malibu with self defense skills.
“Girls and women are not taught you need to use your voice, your body. You need to use your body language and keep people out of your space and show you are strong and fight back,” Peterson said.
Joey and Ginger Escobar of Malibu Martial Arts opted to join in and volunteered their time and skills to teach the classes.
All three began a pilot program over the summer, which was attended by a dozen students and parents at the Escobar’s studio.
“All the girls and moms who attended thought it was an amazing experience,” Peterson said.
She hopes that all MHS students take the class while at the high school.
“They need to be aware … [living in Malibu] is very much like living in a bubble. People don’t really think about how they are walking or holding their purse,” Peterson said.
The classes have the blessing of the Santa Moncia-Malibu Unified School District and MHS Principal Jerry Block.
“It really falls in line with our mission as a high school to teach students to be self advocates, to be able to take care of themselves. When they leave MHS they are young adults going out on their own,” Block said.
Waivers are required for 11th and 12th grade girls attending without an adult, and are available in the front office. Students in grades 9 and 10 need to attend with a mother or guardian.
The classes will all cover the same material and a reservation is required by emailing besafebeprepared@gmail.com.
