Lane County faces billions in damage from a Cascadia earthquake

Being earthquake-ready goes beyond having a few bottles of water and a battery-powered flashlight on hand. Local seismologists say there is a one-in-three chance a magnitude 8.0 or higher Cascadia earthquake will occur in the next 50 years. There is a one-in-10 chance of a magnitude 9.0 or higher earthquake. The Eugene Water & Electric Board , in collaboration with the Eugene Family YMCA and University of Oregon , are promoting emergency readiness, giving presentations and answering questions about what Eugene residents need to know and what they can do now to prepare for an earthquake that could heavily impact the Pacific Northwest's infrastructure. Valerie Sahakian , UO associate professor of earth sciences and lead investigator for Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center (CRESCENT) , said planning now is essential . "When things are really big and scary, reinforcing what you can do helps," Sahakian said. What is the Cascadia subduction zone and how do we know it's active? The Cascadia subduction zone , spanning about 600 miles between Northern California and British Columbia, lies about 100 miles west of the Oregon coast. Here, two offshore tectonic plates meet, one sliding underneath the other and building up pressure over time. Scientists

The housing and jobs connection

More than a year has passed since progress on Eugene’s downtown riverfront district went off the rails. Amid a dispute between the developers and the Oregon Bureau of Labor & Industries over wage requirements for construction workers on the project, the developers’ Portland attorney wrote to BOLI that “rental rates in Eugene are simply not high enough when compared to prevailing wage rates to render the projects economically viable.”

‘Drowning machine’ dam can come out, city says — if there’s money

If crews get the money to dismantle a dangerous dam in the Willamette River between Eugene and Springfield, they’ll first have to build another dam. This one at least would be temporary, unlike the Millrace Low Head Dam itself. That nearly century-old dam from a bygone era of energy infrastructure lurks below the surface, and for years it has trapped kayakers and floaters passing through. Dams like this are often called “drowning machines” because of their powerful recirculating currents that swirl like a washing machine.
