****Excellent***Good**Fair*Poor : VIDEOCASSETTES

“Earthquake Survival.” Hollywood Family Entertainment. $19.95. With scientists predicting a major California earthquake during the next 30 years, this generally well-made video makes a useful and comprehensive guide to preparation. Actress Shelley Duvall hosts the 60-minute look at what actions should be taken before and after an earthquake. Everything from protecting your home to first-aid procedures is covered in clear, step-by-step fashion. The video includes informative interviews with, among others, a Caltech seismologist, members of the American Red Cross and a psychologist (on how to help children overcome post-quake emotional trauma). Some of the information is rudimentary, but overall this is recommended viewing for those in the danger zone. Also included: an earthquake preparedness pamphlet. Information: (818) 992-6800. ***
