New research reveals subtle movements on the deepest part of this fault every 14-15 months — building up strain toward the next major earthquake.

Combining cutting-edge research with practical safety information, Living with Earthquakes:

• introduces new information about the danger from faults beneath major Northwest cities: the Seattle Fault, Tacoma Fault, and Portland Hills Fault
• explores such topics as earthquake forecasting, catastrophe insurance, tsunamis, soil liquefaction, and seismic waves in Northwest lakes caused by Alaskan earthquakes
• reviews earthquake preparedness and disaster response in the aftermath of the 2001 Nisqually earthquake, the worst natural disaster in Washington’s history
• suggests actions that citizens can take to protect their families and homes
An essential guide for anyone interested in understanding earthquake science or in preparing for the next earthquake, this book is also a call to action. Vivid descriptions of recent disasters — including the great tsunami that swept down the Northwest coast in 1964, the 1993 Oregon earthquakes, and the 2001 Nisqually earthquake — underscore the urgent need for better earthquake planning and awareness.</description><publisher>Open Oregon State</publisher><contributor>Cut Rita Zahara</contributor><type>Book:Book</type><identifier>http://uilis.unsyiah.ac.id/oer/items/show/879</identifier><identifier>http://uilis.unsyiah.ac.id/oer/files/original/031a445ae1b8a2c4a1482953d5d4fc7d.pdf</identifier><rights>Creative Commons</rights><recordID>879</recordID></dc>
