As residents of the Pacific Northwest, we are all familiar with stories
of Seattle’s vulnerability to seismic activity. And we certainly
recall the haunting 2015 New Yorker article asserting that our region
is long-overdue for “the big one.” To help contextualize these
fears and delve into the science beneath the threat of earthquakes,
we present Dr. John Vidale—seismologist at UW’s College of the
Environment and leader for several years of UW’s M9 Project. Dr.
Vidale’s works lends insight on the likelihood of such a tremor,
and offers a prognosis on the impact a giant coastal quake could have
on Seattle’s downtown. Vidale lends his rarefied expertise to
assuage some of our fears while espousing the continued need for
disaster-preparedness, as well as revealing his thoughts on
implementing early warning technologies in the Pacific Northwest to
grant us precious time to react before the shaking starts. Thanks to
IRIS/SSA Distinguished Lectures Series, Seattle Town Hall, and
Phinney Neighborhood Association. Recorded 11/29/17 Pirate TV is a 58
minute weekly TV show that provides the book talk and lecture content
for Free Speech TV. Pirate TV challenges the Media Blockade, bringing
you independent voices, information and programming unavailable on
the Corporate Sponsor-Ship. These posts are for YouTube and are
usually longer than the broadcast versions. You will notice that I
don't monetize my videos. I'm irritated by constant interruptions as
I'm sure are you. If you would like to pitch in to support this work,
