1 Hayden Island n o i t a r a p e r P e k a u q h Eart By your Neighborhood Emergency Team
2 Who are Hayden Island Nets? Your neighbors Completed 30 hr training from Fire Bureau and Portland Emergency Management Goal is to provide immediate assistance and assessment after an event like an earthquake Not generally trained for first aid Assist neighbors and perform triage
3 The Subduction Zone
4 The Subduction Zone Similar to the 1964 Alaska and 2011 Japanese earthquakes If the whole shelf from Canada to California goes, it might be worse The last full margin earthquake in NW was Jan, 1700 Will last 3-5 minutes, not seconds, typical of smaller quakes
5 The Subduction Zone
6 Should you be Worried? Chances are we won't see a really big quake But if we do, it could be devastating Oregon estimates 5,000 dead and 15,000 injured
7 Tsunami and Liquefaction Tsunami is not a threat past river mile 20-30, but will be devastating to coastal areas Liquefaction resembles quick sand action Water is forced up and out, lubricating the soil Hayden Island is prone to major liquefaction
8 Tsunami and Liquefaction
9 What to do during an Earthquake Drop, Cover and Hold On, under a table Stay clear of objects that can fall If you're on the coast, go to higher ground Evacuate after shaking stops Check for gas leaks, running water or other hazards
10 What NOT to do during an earthquake DO NOT run to other rooms. DO NOT stand in a doorway. You probably won t be able to stand up if you tried. DO NOT go outside during the quake. Falling objects cause the most injuries DO NOT light a match. Leaking gas is problematic DO NOT move about or kick up dust. Open cabinets cautiously. Objects can fall off shelves.
11 Mobile Home Safety Tips Replace blocks with solid bracing Replace solid gas line with flexible pipe.
12 Basic Emergency Supplies Start with three necessities for 3 Days: Water one gallon per person per day for a minimum of three days Food items for 3 days that don t need to be refrigerated or cooked (e.g., peanut butter, canned meats, energy bars, canned fruits and vegetables, etc.) First Aid Kit include any prescription and over-the counter medications.
13 Basic Emergency Supplies
14 First Aid Kit Buy a First Aid Kit or build one using the stuff you have, plus your own medications and doctor's info
15 Communications Cellular, landlines, cable & electricity could be out Walkie Talkies are available at any big box store for $30-$50 a pair For Hayden Island, we are using: Primary: CH 4 ( Mhz) Backup: CH 6 ( Mhz)
16 The Long Recovery Some utility and infrastructure interruptions will last for weeks or months. You should plan on being self-sufficient for longer than the 72-hour period. If you had to re-locate: Where would you go? What would you do? What would you take?
17 Utilities Bad News all around Electricity Could be out for weeks if West Island power towers & substation are down Gasoline - 75% of Portland's gas comes by pipeline from Pudget Sound, other 25% by ship. Storage infrastructure on Willamette may be severly damaged Natural Gas Feeder Pipeline could be broken. Water Bull Run pipeline may be in hundreds of pieces Sewage Pumps out, treatment plant broken
18 Sanitation Sewage treatment and pumps may preclude flush toilets. Two, 5 gallon plastic buckets, one for pee and one for poo could save the day
19 Public Alerts and Social Media PublicAlerts delivers Portland emergency info to your phone or PC. Sign-up for the free service. Official Twitter feeds from government agencies such as Portland Fire, Portland Police, Portland OEM, Portland Weather Alerts, Oregon OEM, OSP, Vancouver OEM, and Washington State Patrol. A large number of Android, IOS, and Windows apps are recommended by Port Emergency Management
20 Earthquake science Ocean-bottom seismometers are now live on the Axial Seamount, 200 miles off the coast. It's the most active volcanic site and erupted last year (as predicted). That cable data comes into Newport, then to U/W.
21 What Should I Do? Make A Contingency Plan Make a Survival Kit Tie down your water heater Check for potential hazards Identify water, gas and electric shutoffs Read and watch YouTube videos about the proper response to a Cascadia Earthquake Talk with Friends, Family and neighbors
22 Summary Make a Family Plan. Share your plan with all your loved ones so everyone's on the same page Plan on the power going out for days Stock up on Food and Water for 3 Days Get a First Aid Kit Know how to turn off your house water and gas Don't Panic. You'll probably be okay You'll rest easier when prepared for The Big One
