Earthquake Regional Impact Analysis

12/29/2022

0 Comments

 
What's the risk of being unprepared for a major earthquake for people living in the Portland Oregon metropolitan area? What kind of losses and damage might occur? To answer these questions, the Regional  Disaster Preparedness Organization (RDPO) partnered with the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) to create a report describing potential impacts to Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington counties from earthquakes, including a magnitude 9.0+ Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. 
The report provides damage and casualty estimates to buildings, people, and key infrastructure sectors resulting from a major earthquake in the Portland metropolitan region. The study’s estimates of injuries and fatalities, building damages, and other impacts helps communities, the region, and the state better prepare for, respond to, and recover from major earthquakes. 
Check out the 10-minute video to get a quick overview, or click on the images to get a summary of the impacts or read the full report.

Did you watch the 2022 Earthshot awards on OPB? I was delighted and inspired by the winners. One that stood out for me was the award-winning Makuru Stoves, a stove which creates 70% less particulate matter than stoves currently in use in Nairobi. Wouldn't it be a cool stove to have that stove for disaster preparedness? The Earthshot Prize is awarded to five winners each year for their contributions to environmentalism. Check out the winners here.
