2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 2016 Cannon Beach forum keys on disaster planning People should have a disaster plan ready, e[perts say By LYRA FONTAINE EO Media Group CA11O1 %(ACH ² :e knoZ it is better to plan for, rather than panic about, the cominJ Cascadia earthTuake and tsunami. %ut Zhere do Ze start" The city of Cannon Beach and OreJon Of¿ ce of (merJency 0an aJement hosted a )ocus on Prepared ness forum this month to educate res idents on disaster planninJ. ³The city is leJally responsible for the health and Zelfare of our res idents, so Ze need to be prepared for any type of disaster,´ said City 0an aJer Brant .ucera, citinJ the poZer ful coastal storm of . All top city of¿ cials underJo )ederal (merJency 0anaJement AJency traininJ on hoZ to respond to a disaster in a standardi]ed Zay, .ucera said. City department heads lead an e[ecutive disaster operations team. The city operations plan is cur rently under revieZ. ³,¶m very proud of the proJress the city has made in just the past year, JoinJ from the city staff not playinJ a larJe enouJh role in emerJency manaJement ... toZard beinJ very involved and educated,´ .ucera said. Althea 5i]]o, JeoloJic ha]ards coordinator Zith the OreJon Of¿ ce of (merJency 0anaJement, pro vided backJround on hoZ to prepare for the earthquake. Off the coast, the -uan de )uca plate is divinJ under the 1orth Amer ican plate, creatinJ the mile Cas cadia 6ubduction =one from 1 orth ern California to British Columbia. (ventually, the stress Zill cause the rock to break and release enerJy as seismic Zaves, and the Jround Zill shake. (arthquakes in a subduction ]one cause most tsunamis, 5i]]o said. ,t takes about a . earthquake to Jen erate the Jiant Zaves. ³:e Zill have miles of ocean cominJ onshore and that¶s a tremen dous amount of Zater and enerJy,´ she said. ³6hakinJ Zill last tZo to four minutes.” AlthouJh science can¶t predict earthquakes, the last Cascadia earth quake Zas in the year and reoc curs every years. The Jround Zill shake repeatedly for Zeeks and months after the Cascadia earthquake. ³<ou have to be aZare that this is a process that Ze Zill Jo throuJh,” 5i]]o said. 6mall tsunamis can cause dam aJe, such as landslides, she added. )or local tsunamis like Cascadia, the national tsunami ZarninJ system may be ineffective. ³,f you feel the Jround shake you Jo to the hiJhest Jround possible and take as many people Zith you,” 5i]]o said. The state has a ³lonJ journey” toZard disaster preparedness and needs to replace infrastructure ² such as hospitals, bridJes and schools ² built before seismic codes Zere in place, 5i]]o said. 6he urJed people to start a con versation about tsunami safety, ¿ nd 7 STEP SYSTEM: 1. Identify hazards: secure furniture, water heater, hanging objects, overhead light fixtures, and more. 2. Create a disaster plan and discuss with family mem- bers. Practice the “drop, cover and hold on” drill. Tools for creating a plan include Living on Shaky Ground, oregontsunami. org, and s martphone apps. 3. Prepare disaster kits. Keep emergency food and water, first aid kit, portable radio, batteries, medications, cash and other supplies in a dry, accessible area. Rizzo recommends keep- ing extra medications or prescription labels in your go-kit. 4. Identify and fix weak- nesses, including building problems like inadequate foundations. 5. Protect yourself during an earthquake. Drop to the floor, take cover under a sturdy table or desk, and hold on until shaking stops. Lyra Fontaine/EO Media Group Mayor Sam Steidel demonstrates the contents of his go-bag at the Cannon Beach Focus on Preparedness Forum. an outofstate contact, practice a tsunami Zalkout, and folloZ a sev enstep preparedness system that involves identifyinJ ha]ards, creatinJ a disaster plan, preparinJ disaster kits, and identifyinJ buildinJ Zeaknesses. ,ndividuals, families and commu 6. Evacuate if necessary: know if you are in the zone. Check for injuries and damage once you’re in a safe area. nities should strive to be selfsuf¿ cient for tZo Zeeks, she said. ³:e¶ve seen other cultures do Zhat Ze need to accomplish,” 5i]]o said, cit inJ -apan and Chile¶s earthquakes. ³:e¶re much more resilient than Ze think Ze are.” 7.
