No desire to be alarmist - the prospect and probabilities of earthquakes on
and near the US/Canadian West Coast has been long discussed and is well
known *of *although not perhaps so well known *about. *This has been 'in
the news again' recently due to publicity given to the comments made by one
scientist.

There are MANY people and sites discussing the probable magnitude and
timing of a future US West Coast earthquake. The page cited below appears
to my entirely amateur eye to be better than many. Its main value is
probably the extensive user commentary - along with the usual typical hype
and rubbish there is some some excellent 'expert' comment and discussion
and many links. Worth looking through with due care.

Among other things the discussion touches on Tsunami evacuation plans.
People who live in potentially affected areas would be wise to decide in
advance what if any action may be desirable should thge need every arise.

I live 1/3 of a world away from the area concerned, but found the material
and discussion interesting.
Even with a rather rapid skim/read through I learned a useful amount more
on the subject.
