Washington State is situated in a seismic zone, and earthquakes happen almost daily, though most are too minor to cause any damage. However, large earthquakes can have significant impacts on buildings, roads, bridges, dams, and utilities. Due to its geological location, Washington has the second highest risk of such earthquakes in the United States.
To prepare for such events, there are several steps you can take. You can start by learning more about the existing faults in the area or even discovering new ones. A state-wide compilation of active faults and folds is published every year, which can help you understand the potential risks. Additionally, there are various websites, such as Washington Emergency Management, Cascadia Region Earthquake Workgroup, and Ready.gov
, which provide information on emergency preparation, earthquakes, and faults.
Investing in new technology and seismic retrofitting is also an effective way to prevent displacement from a structure's foundation, making it safer and less likely to suffer damage during an earthquake. Several companies in the area offer this service.
Earthquake insurance is another option worth considering. SafeInsure offers a standalone earthquake policy that can be endorsed onto any home policy, regardless of the provider. We would be happy to provide you with a quote and answer any questions you may have.
