An ominous anniversary looms at the end of the month: the 316th anniversary of the last major Cascadia earthquake (January 26th).
On average, the Cascadia Subduction Zone ruptures about every 240 years... so we're due for a big shake.
University of Oregon geophysicist Doug Toomey is involved with the Cascadia Initiative, a project to better understand the mechanics of the subduction zone. He joins us with word of where things stand in understanding and preparation.
EVENT: Doug Toomey speaks at SWOCC on Saturday Night (Jan. 16) at 7 PM, with live streaming available.
