- ianvanness 13y agoThe Portland Mercury (a free alt-weekly) published a cover on this last year, mostly about how ill-prepared the city is in general for earthquakes. Glad to see this sort of friendly-neighbor approach happening though, as it's going to be more effective right now than waiting for the politics to catch up, and oh so very Portland. http://www.portlandmercury.com/portland/the-first-four-minutes/Content?oid=5766214 http://www.portlandmercury.com/portland/the-first-four-minut...
- epaladin 13y agoHow much of a threat is it there? Portland's sounded like an attractive place to try to move to, having the best bicycle transport "infrastructure" in the country. Seems like the side-effects like mudslides are worse than the direct effect of the earthquakes themselves in that region. I moved back from Japan just a few months before the 2011 disaster.
