Priority Recommendations
Independent State Seismic Safety Commission or Board
Implement Risk Reduction Plans for Critical Facilities
Retrofit High Risk Buildings
Protect the Transportation Infrastructure
CREW – Cascadia Scenario
M9.0 Earthquake Scenario
January 26, 1700 Last Rupture
Geologic Evidence for Return Periods of About 200 to 1000 Years
Key Subduction Zone Issues
Strong Shaking for Several Minutes
Long Period Ground Motions
Destructive Tsunami Will Hit Coast
Potential for Significant Aftershocks
Impacts to Various Regions
Coast – High Ground Motions, Significant Damage, Tsunami
I5 – Moderate Ground Motions, Tall Blds, Old Blds, NS Damage
East of Cascades – Minimal Ground Motions, Little Damage, Source of Recovery
Conclusions/Recommendations
Continue to Develop Understanding of Seismic Hazard
Assess Earthquake Impacts on Built Environment and Communities
Work to Reduce Earthquake Impacts on Built Environment and Communities
Expand Education and Public Outreach
