Tony... thanks, gives me something to think about. Concerning scale...geographic scale is from Santa Monica Mountains and San Gabriel Mts through LA basin to the near offshore basins...south to maybe San Clemente (town, not island). I think you meant: 3 years, 1 month/yr for Lamont geologist-seismologist, 1 month a year for the modeler (Lamont), 0 months for me first year, 2 months/yr the following 2 years (I'm cheaper), 0 salary for HW (Mizzou) who will be thesis advisor to student who will be well-funded first 2 years (if we are funded at all).
This is a proposal to National Science Foundation and we would need to include outreach in our budget. But, we would involve Southern California Earthquake Center, if they are interested.

Clearly internet is the way to go and we would want graphics/animations. We can discuss here on earthwaves whether some blog-like thing would be interesting (I'm not exactly sure what a Blog is.
But, we could also try to develop school material along the lines suggested by Robert Baum. I'll see what HW comes up with (Heartland Wife).
I don't think this will be too mass appeal...is a bit specialized. But, it would have to be made interesting to non-scientists.
