Who this is for
Anyone living between Vancouver Island and Northern California who has thought "we should really be ready for the big one" more than once and done less than they'd like about it. No fear, no jargon, just the clearest version of the plan, written to be read in one evening.
What's inside
- Understand the hazard: what a Cascadia subduction quake actually is, what shaking does to modern buildings and utilities, and how long services realistically take to return.
- The weekend hardening plan: a room-by-room hazard hunt, securing the heavy stuff, water heater strapping, and knowing your gas shutoff (and when not to touch it).
- During: Drop, Cover, Hold On for the real places you'll be: in bed, driving, downtown, at the coast, including the tsunami rule that saves lives: if the shaking is long or strong, go on foot to high ground.
- The first 72 hours: the first-hour protocol, checking your home safely, water treatment, sanitation that works when toilets don't, and the text-first family communication plan.
- Three household drills: ten-minute practices that turn the plan into reflex, plus a seasonal maintenance calendar.
- The tear-out quick sheet: one page for the fridge with everything that matters at 3 a.m.
