Infobox and lead

• Couldn't find any issues with the infobox.
• I don't think the word "extraordinary" is neutral to use, so try replacing it.  Done I've replaced extraordinary with unprecedented. Maybe that will sound more in line with neutral wording.
• Other than that, the lead looks good.

Tectonic setting

• Remove the comma after "Channel Islands offshore".  Done

Earthquake

• Add a serial comma after "east–west strike".  Done
• I don't think "landsliding" is an actual word, so reword.  Done
• Add a comma after "the Tujunga segment".  Done
• "frequently-encountered" → "frequently encountered"  Done

Damage

• "heart attack" → "heart attacks"  Done
• Is "proper ties" the correct words being used, or is it a typo?  Done Yes, it's correct. I've linked Tie (engineering) to assist the reader.
• "The large" → "A large"  Done
• Remove the comma after "closest school to Pacoima dam".  Done

Aftermath

• Add a comma after "Long Beach earthquake".  Done
• "debate began" → "a debate began"  Done

References

• Sources are archived and well-cited.
