321st Anniversary of the Great Cascadia Region Subduction Zone Earthquake

A great example of calling attention to a risk.

Debbie Moeller took advantage of the Jan. 26 anniversary of the last Cascadia Subduction Earthquake to call attention to disaster readiness. She used our current experiences of living through a "highly unexpected" pandemic to get over the hump of people dismissing the possibility of such a disaster happening. 

Check out her op-ed in the Portland, Ore., newspaper The Oregonian: "Opinion: Because disasters don’t wait, our earthquake preparation can’t either."

She also recently authored this book: Get Ready!: How to Prepare for and Stay Safe After a Pacific Northwest Earthquake.
