The Pacific Northwest has seen earthquakes before. But Cascadia subduction zone earthquakes are completely different‚ and will trigger massive destruction from British Columbia to California and produce tsunamis that can wipe entire towns off the map. The geologic record reveals that they strike every 300 to 500 years. The last one was in 1700. Can we prepare? How? And what lessons can we learn from earthquakes elsewhere?

We examine the staggering vulnerability of our own aging infrastructure designed before this threat was known. Most importantly, we explore the big and small ways that our region can take steps to be better prepared.
