Subject: The Pacfic Northwest may be capable of producing a great subduction-zone earthquake of magnitude 8-9. Large crustal and intraplate earthquakes have historically occured in the Pacific Northwest and are expected to continue. Potential losses in this area are expected to be large for a number of reasons. A great subduction-zone earthqauke could cost about $8.6 billion dollars and lead to the loss of hundreds of lives. This program for earthquake hazard assessment is designed to characterize earthquake hazrads and to quantify the associated risks
