In an Earthquake Brace + Bolt retrofit, the foundation is "bolted" to the frame of the house. and when there are walls called "cripple Walls" in the crawl space under the house, they are "braced" with plywood to help prevent the house from sliding off the foundation during an earthquake. Your house must be a wood-framed, pre-1980 home with a raised foundation. Application period is open until March 26 for our zip code. The application website is www.earthquakebracebolt.com and is best accessed via a computer.
