“Our operating assumption is that everything west of Interstate 5 will be toast.”
Counting from the earthquake of 1700, we are now three hundred and fifteen years into a two-hundred-and-forty-three-year cycle.
Soon after that shaking begins, the electrical grid will fail, likely everywhere west of the Cascades and possibly well beyond. If it happens at night, the ensuing catastrophe will unfold in darkness.
FEMA calculates that, across the region, something on the order of a million buildings—more than three thousand of them schools
—will collapse or be compromised in the earthquake.
So will half of all highway bridges, fifteen of the seventeen bridges spanning Portland’s two rivers, and two-thirds of railways and airports; also, one-third of all fire stations, half of all police stations, and two-thirds of all hospitals.
Those who cannot get out of the inundation zone under their own power will quickly be overtaken by a greater one. A grown man is knocked over by ankle-deep water moving at 6.7 miles an hour. The tsunami will be moving more than twice that fast when it arrives. Its height will vary with the contours of the coast, from twenty feet to more than a hundred feet. It will not look like a Hokusai-style wave, rising up from the surface of the sea and breaking from above. It will look like the whole ocean, elevated, overtaking land. Nor will it be made only of water—not once it reaches the shore. It will be a five-story deluge of pickup trucks and doorframes and cinder blocks and fishing boats and utility poles and everything else that once constituted the coastal towns of the Pacific Northwest.
OSSPAC estimates that in the I-5 corridor it will take between one and three months after the earthquake to restore electricity
a month to a year to restore drinking water and sewer service
six months to a year to restore major highways
eighteen months to restore health-care facilities
On the coast, those numbers go up.
Whoever chooses or has no choice but to stay there will spend three to six months without electricity,
one to three years without drinking water and sewage systems
and three or more years without hospitals
Those estimates do not apply to the tsunami-inundation zone, which will remain all but uninhabitable for years.
