Earthquake Preparation Meeting To Take Place in Salem

Officials are meeting Tuesday, to discuss what should be done before the next big earthquake in Oregon.

Officials say the next big Cascadia Subduction-zone earthquake will likely kill thousands, and take months to recover from.

A panel of experts agree that a magnitude 9 quake would cause at least 32-billion dollars in losses in Oregon’s economy.

The meeting will focus on what preparations can be made. Officials will meet at 9 A.M. in Salem this morning.
