“Our operating assumption is that everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast.”

In the Pacific Northwest, everything west of Interstate 5 covers some hundred and forty thousand square miles, including Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Eugene, Salem (the capital city of Oregon), Olympia (the capital of Washington), and some seven million people. When the next full-margin rupture happens, that region will suffer the worst natural disaster in the history of North America. Roughly three thousand people died in San Francisco’s 1906 earthquake. Almost two thousand died in Hurricane Katrina. Almost three hundred died in Hurricane Sandy. FEMA projects that nearly thirteen thousand people will die in the Cascadia earthquake and tsunami. Another twenty-seven thousand will be injured, and the agency expects that it will need to provide shelter for a million displaced people, and food and water for another two and a half million. “This is one time that I’m hoping all the science is wrong, and it won’t happen for another thousand years,” Murphy says.

How do you prepare?•Depends

•Where do you live?•Do you stock up?•Or do you put what you can in a go kit?•Where are you going to keep important papers?•Where are you going?

OSSPAC estimates that in the I-5 corridor it will take between one and three months after the earthquake to restore electricity

•six months to a year to restore major highways

•eighteen months to restore health-care facilities

•On the coast, those numbers go up.

•Whoever chooses or has no choice but to stay there will spend three to six months without electricity.

• Simulated Emergency TestQuake Ex 2 SET

In the beginning was the plan.• All meet in one place• Take pictures of your go kit• The EC will assign new duties to all• This will be a COOP drill, basically all in the field

• Goals? What do we want to accomplish?

Quake Ex 2

• TVF&R will work out of their sites because they have issues.•Any one else need to work at their sites?• Take pictures of your radio go kits• The plan was to have a “Operational Period”, so none

were to be out for 8 hours. The plan is just that, a plan. Some may opt to move to another site in the middle of the SET.• This time county EOC will have plenty of radios and

stations to work at, we won’t drop the ball this time.

Quake Ex 2

• If your bored and nothing is happening at your station, say something.•We need find what makes us prepared.• I do want happy Hams

What are we preparing for?• Not just an earthquake.• Wind• Flood• Storm• Fire• Bottom line where communications is needed until comms is restored
