Eberlein was living in Sri Lanka in 2004 when a 9.1 subduction zone earthquake off the coast of Indonesia triggered a massive tsunami that took 230,000 lives in more than a dozen countries circling the Indian Ocean.

Steven now works full time to educate audiences on the power of earthquakes and what can be done to be prepared for them.
