CREW (Cascadia Region Earthquake Workgroup)
CREW formed in the late 1990s to address the regional nature of earthquake hazards in the Pacific Northwest and the interdependency of public agencies and private businesses in planning for earthquakes. They are a nonprofit public-private coalition of business people, emergency managers, scientists, government officials and civic leaders who work together to reduce the effects of earthquakes and related hazards, such as tsunami, throughout the Cascadia region, which stretches from northern California to British Columbia.
CREW has published three reports, called scenarios, that describe the major types of earthquakes that occur in the Cascadia region. These scenarios explain how these earthquakes affect the region and the damage and losses that have occurred or could occur in the future.
- CREW Shallow Earthquake Scenario
- CREW Deep Earthquake Scenario
- CREW Cascadia Subduction Zone/M9 Scenario
ShakeOut
Great ShakeOut earthquake drills are an opportunity to practice how to be safer during earthquakes.
