Cascadia Prepared is a nonprofit dedicated to preparing for the impending Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake & tsunami and subsequent recovery efforts.
If there was a sign on the door saying, "May be unsafe in the event of a major earthquake," would you still go inside? Portland City council voted to require signage on unreinforced masonry buildings in Portland.
This video offers some legit preparedness advice. They do focus a lot on buying pre-built kits, which isn't necessary. Build your own emergency kits at home over time, not at once.
They also take a look around their home and inside of it looking for hazards, which is FREE.

In #OlyWA today: The "Big Shaker," an earthquake simulator equipped to generate an 8.0+. From 10-2, it will be by the Winged Victory statue near the Legislative Building. It's a good opportunity to see what an earthquake could feel like and find out tips to get 2 Weeks Ready.
Is Portland prepared for a major earthquake? Join @OregonOEM@andrewjphelps and a panel of experts 7pm, Wed., 9/18, to discuss earthquake preparedness in the Portland metro area; event will be live-steamed on @KXLNews
It’s important to be two-weeks ready for a large natural disaster such as the #CascadiaEarthquake but it can be hard to know where to begin. Start by creating a space for supplies. #PreparedNotScared#NtlPrep 1/2
State scientists have just released a series of modeled simulation videos that show the timing and size of tsunami waves following a 9.0 magnitude earthquake on the Cascadia Subduction Zone. https://t.co/2cARDMsUgk
The #Cascadiaearthquake is expected to shake the #PNW for 5 minutes...what will you do before, during and after the intense shaking? #prepare

“We’re using video games as a way to reach the target population effectively and show them there are skills and knowledge that are really useful to prepare for all sorts of disasters.”

CPREP was interviewed and featured in the @CGSentinel !
“There’s no question that we’re due for another #megaquake,"Said CPREP president Steve Robinson. "We know it’s coming. The science is clear on that. We also know that we’re not ready.”

Experts say it's only a matter of time before a shift in a major fault line off the Oregon coast causes a massive earthquake that generates a tsunami as much as seven stories tall. https://t.co/kNzwHmLkHv
It's still summer but not too early to register for #ShakeOut. Register today at https://t.co/wnyhWnfGA5 and then conduct some earthquake preparedness at home https://t.co/o3bnvBfvoH #2WeeksReady
Early earthquake warning in #Oregon is edging closer to reality thanks to the UO’s share of new federal funding through the @USGS for ShakeAlert. https://t.co/QFtxTJ8ju5
We know that the next big quake can happen any time. But let’s say “not today” and help each other get ready. #CPREP

An excellent podcast series on earthquake preparedness, whether the "Big One' occurs along the San Andreas Fault in California, or along our own Cascadia Subduction Zone here in the Pacific Northwest.
