Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center opens: Fly to the stars, we can, at least in our daydreams. But we can also make our way to Exposition Park and the sensational state-of-the-art structure housing Space Shuttle Endeavour. The orbiter's new home has been years in the making — you'll recall its epic slow-roll from LAX to California Science Center nearly 15 years ago — and there are hundreds of dazzling displays, hand-on exhibits, and educational stations to engage visitors. Oh yes: The shuttle is now in launch position, something that may simultaneously drop jaws and inspire "wows" from those in the vicinity. The center debuts Nov. 13 and tickets are free (there is a $4 fee when booked online).

Eighteen years ago on Nov. 13, Southern Californians imagined that a magnitude-7.8 earthquake struck. It was for a drill that’s since evolved into an annual observance to practice preparedness for the ever-looming Big One . The drill was focused on drop, cover and hold on, a mantra that should — ideally — feel ingrained in Californians in the event of a tremor. The decision to focus it on this guidance, as renowned seismologist Lucy Jones told the USA TODAY Network, was in response to an earthquake in Southern California that year. She was in a room full of emergency managers at the time of the tremor. They all went underneath a table. But news reports captured people running out of buildings, the very response officials say not to do. It’s just one factor that informed the major earthquake drill held that November, a drill that came out of the ShakeOut Scenario. It was a project led by Jones that modeled a magnitude-7.8 earthquake on the southern San Andreas Fault, predicted to cause about 1,800 deaths and $213 billion in economic losses. It had been unveiled earlier that year, right around the time of a devastating earthquake in China, Jones said.

The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena is launching a new center to prepare Southern California for the next major disaster. Led by seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones, the Center for Disaster Resilience aims to bring researchers and community leaders together to focus on preparedness, response and recovery for natural disaster threats affecting the region. That includes earthquakes, wildfires, extreme heat, flooding and tropical storms.
