9.0 Cascadia Earthquake Survival: How to Survive the Coming Megathrust Quake That Will Devastate the Pacific Northwest (The Survival Collection)

This is a great eye opener! He adds many links to research he's quoting and to further information. It's a quick read, but the research is worth it!

There’s some decent information in here, but it’s not a book. The “book” is full of “click here for more info” type stuff. I don’t mind reading a blog adaptation to a book, but this is poorly done. I thought the author saved himself by providing a document full of the links from the book. I downloaded it only to find the “links” weren’t links at all but simply the text of the links, requiring the reader to copy each url individually and paste them into a browser. There’s information provided by other organizations that’s more complete and easier to navigate.

Damian makes coherent points backed up by science and history about what's in our future. Does it mean you give up on life and wait for the end? No. You make plans based on where you are and your means. But do something because even if you don't see these events in your lifetime, you'll see something that could be a nuisance or the worst thing you've ever experienced. Start now.

This book is a must read for anyone in the Pacific Northwest. Damian brindle researches, then researches more and puts everything in easy to read and understand format. I have read this book for the 3rd time today as quakes are swarming in this area. Just read the book, you won’t regret it. I highly recommend

Sound science well and clearly explained.This is a story of discovery as elements of evidence accumulate toward conclusions that are astonishing and sobering. I cannot overemphasize the importance of using these insights to redesign the full spectrum of public policy on the west coast.

This book is an absolutely crucial read if you live on the west coast or have friends or family living there! Besides an abundance of knowledge regarding earthquakes, tsunamis and survival, the author provides valuable references for future study. Awesome book!

I have to suggest that if your book title says you will explain how to survive something very serious, you should do so. Instead, this book gives a substantial explanation of Cascadia 9.0 (largely derived from Wikipedia and similar sources), links to a variety of potentially useful sources, and has 25 minimal pages on how to survive the event. The survival advice is weak and limited. There are many substantial steps you could take but this book does not include most of them. The author is clearly not any kind of expert on the topic.

Only have it two stars because it explained quake science well but was vague on survival after the fact. It did however give me lots of options a to purchase other books that would give me the information
