Jul 5, 2022 · The following is a 2022 compilation of datasets relevant to Cascadia subduction zone earthquake hazards and tectonics useful for emergency management officials, geologists, and others interested in understanding the unique geologic dynamics that create hazards to communities in the region.

Oregon tsunami hazard maps on DOGAMI's website . California tsunami inundation maps . Lessons Learned from recent Tsunami. On February 27th 2010 a magnitude 8.8 "mega thrust" or subduction zone earthquake occurred off the central coast of Chile generating a Tsunami that claimed hundreds of lives.

The Cascadia subduction zone is a 960 km (600 mi) convergent plate boundary, about 100–200 km (70–100 mi) off the Pacific coast of North America, that stretches from northern Vancouver Island in Canada to Northern California in the United States.

The map on the right, from the Oregon Resilience Plan, shows potential damage that could occur in Oregon from a Great Earthquake (M9) along the Cascadia subduction zone. An earthquake of this size would be comparable to the Japanese Tohoku …

Dec 2, 2021 · The Cascadia Subduction Zone is located just off the Oregon coast, spanning from Cape Mendocino, CA to Vancouver Island in Canada. This zone is where the North American tectonic plate and Juan De Fuca tectonic plates meet (Schulz).
