How to Hang Art in Earthquake Zones Published February 14, 2014 by Merit by Dave Veilleux, VP Business Development - As someone who grew up in an earthquake zone in southern California, I have personal first hand experience with shake, rattle, and roll of Mother Nature’s occasional convulsing. Besides a multitude of less memorable shakers, I have experienced the following significant quakes: 1971 6.6 (Richter Scale) San Fernando/Sylmar quake 1987 5.9 Whittier Narrows quake 1991 5.6 Sierra Madre quake 1994 6.7 Northridge quake The challenge has been presented to our Call Center many times, “What is the best way to hang art so that it doesn’t become a hazard during an earthquake?” Another way to think of this is, “Can modern hanging display system hardware benefit those living or working in earthquake areas?” That short answer is, yes.
