BEND, Ore. — Central Oregon will not bear the brunt of a major earthquake off the state's coast, but it will bear the greatest responsibility during the relief effort, according to a presentation Wednesday night by those involved in planning for such a disaster.
The talk, titled “Shaken II: What the great Cascadia earthquake could mean to Central Oregon,” was held at the Tower Theatre and sponsored by the American Red Cross Oregon Mountain River chapter, St. Charles, OSU-Cascades and The Bulletin. Scott Ashford, Dean of OSU's College of Engineering, discussed the fallout from recent earthquakes across the globe before turning to the Cascadia subduction zone, which runs along the West Coast from Vancouver Island to Northern California.
