Abstract
The Planning for Earthquakes and Other Geologic Events workshop brought together planners, geologists and engineers from throughout Oregon to discuss earthquake risk in the state. The purpose of the workshop was to identify the resources, opportunities, and obstacles to implementing loss reduction measures in local communities. The event took place on February 26, 2004 at the University of Oregon.
The Institute for Hazard Mitigation Planning and Research at the University of Washington replicated the workshop using the same methods on March 15, 2004 in Seattle.
