Still Standing Oregon

nal effort to address the economic and life threatening consequences of major earthquakes DOES NOT exist. Oregon scientists have done the math. In a study commissioned by the Oregon Seismic Safety Policy Advisory Commission (OSSPAC), a team at Oregon State University (OSU),found that the California–Oregon end of Cascadia’s fault has a 37 percent chance of producing a major earthquake in the next 50 years. This event, in our current state of preparedness, would trigger a material depopulation of the entire Pacific Northwest.
