• Every risk that can be identified in advance, can be reduced or avoided with the decision is made to act.
• Every risk that is avoid, is one less thing that goes wrong.

Best thing about earthquakes:
We have a say about almost everything.
Except when it will happen.
Every problem has a solution
![Page 22: Presentation to Alpha Delta Kappa Honor Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54b87c594a7959705e8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Earthquakes
• Subduction– 5 minutes: we will
feel shaking about 2 minutes
– Region wide damage– Highest buildings
have largest problems
– Likely to generate tsunami/seiche
– Aftershocks likely

Earthquakes: Shallow
• Lasts about 20 seconds
• Very intense localized shaking
• 1,100 years ago: with Elliot Bay Tsunami, landslides
• Aftershocks likely

Earthquakes: Deep/ Benioff Zone
• 2001 Nisqually• Usually every 20-50
years• Lasts about 20-30
seconds• Effects most of Area• Moderate Shaking
![Page 31: Presentation to Alpha Delta Kappa Honor Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54b87c594a7959705e8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Some truths we need to realize
• We provide an amazing gift when we teach others how to identify and reduce risks.
– What risks exist and how to reduce them– What resources exist & how to access
them– We are our own best resource
![Page 32: Presentation to Alpha Delta Kappa Honor Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54b87c594a7959705e8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
We can avoid injuries
• Heavy objects placed high become projectiles during earthquakes
![Page 33: Presentation to Alpha Delta Kappa Honor Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54b87c594a7959705e8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Most fixes pretty easy
![Page 34: Presentation to Alpha Delta Kappa Honor Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54b87c594a7959705e8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Best: low, wood --Bolted to Foundation
![Page 35: Presentation to Alpha Delta Kappa Honor Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54b87c594a7959705e8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Pretty good in most earthquakes
Not great in Subduction zone quakes
![Page 38: Presentation to Alpha Delta Kappa Honor Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54b87c594a7959705e8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Worst for earthquakes
Worst: Un-reinforced brick (recognized by levels of brick ends)
Not very good: reinforced bricks (recognized when all bricks show their sides)
Not very good: Retrofitted masonry (recognized by the added bolts)5 out of 6 were damaged during the 2001 Nisqually Quake
![Page 39: Presentation to Alpha Delta Kappa Honor Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54b87c594a7959705e8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Unreinforced Masonry
![Page 40: Presentation to Alpha Delta Kappa Honor Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54b87c594a7959705e8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Bad for Quakes: Soft Structures
![Page 41: Presentation to Alpha Delta Kappa Honor Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54b87c594a7959705e8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

I’m in a ‘bad’ building!
• Retrofit– Anchor masonry to wood– Add Framing
• Still will be risks
• Rebuild– Create a new safer building
• Lose character and feeling of history
• Relocate– Currently located in one of the most
dangerous parts of the city• Lose character and history
![Page 43: Presentation to Alpha Delta Kappa Honor Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54b87c594a7959705e8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Disasters = disruption
![Page 44: Presentation to Alpha Delta Kappa Honor Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54b87c594a7959705e8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Disruption happens
• That we may not have access to stores, medicine, etc. on short notice & for a long time
• Emergency information broadcast on:– radio.–2-1-1 (multiple languages)– Internet: www.RPIN.ORG
![Page 45: Presentation to Alpha Delta Kappa Honor Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54b87c594a7959705e8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Disaster Supplies
How to start?
Where to put them?
![Page 46: Presentation to Alpha Delta Kappa Honor Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54b87c594a7959705e8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
How will your schools do?
• How will the schools be affected?– Are non structural items secure?– Will all of the parents be able to return?– Do all of the schools have the resources
and plans to reduce the harm from any disaster?
– Have future risks been analyzed objectively?
![Page 47: Presentation to Alpha Delta Kappa Honor Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54b87c594a7959705e8b45d5/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Pledge to take it seriously!
• Literally: write down a statement to remind you that you want to act-put it where you can see it.
• Reward every step forward!!
