This item doesn’t qualify as a breaking emergency. It’s a Pasadena city council motion about forming a review panel on earthquake preparedness with Dr. Lucy Jones and Caltech — policy/administration, not an active incident.

Breaking emergency articles require an actual active event: evacuation order, active fire/flood, NWS warning, or major incident happening right now. A motion to study earthquake resilience is solid public-safety planning and worth coverage, but it’s news, not breaking emergency.

No article to run. If you’ve got an actual active incident (fire, evac order, etc.), feed that one and I’ll roll it out.
