Notes | “This report evaluates the effects of a great (M w 9.0) earthquake and tsunami on the Cascadia Subduction Zone for five Oregon coast communities, in order to understand the degree of potential destruction, including: potential building losses, debris generated, fatalities and injuries, and estimated numbers of the displaced populations. The goal is to help coastal communities prepare” (p.ii). Very interesting community profiles, colored maps. The report is accompanied by an Excel file, a casualty model spreadsheet. |
