Cascadia Project

The Cascadia Project refers to several interconnected initiatives aimed at understanding and preparing for the seismic risks along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a major fault line off the Pacific Northwest coast of North America. This area could experience significant earthquakes and tsunamis due to the shifting tectonic plates. The project involves scientific research, risk assessments, and community preparedness efforts to enhance safety measures, improve infrastructure resilience, and raise public awareness about potential natural disasters. The goal is to mitigate the impact of such events on local communities and ensure readiness in case of an emergency.
