Rumblings: Preparing for Cascadia

January 26, 2025 marks the 325th anniversary of the last known “megathrust” earthquake (Magnitude 9.0+) along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, the 600-mile-long fault off the Pacific Northwest coast. This documentary explores the imminent threat of another large Cascadia earthquake and tsunami. Highlighting Oregon’s extensive preparations, the film delves into state and local efforts, as well as the proactive measures taken by individuals and families.
