Workshop plans earthquake disaster response - cold

FORT RICHARDSON, Alaska --Forty-four
years have passed since the most powerful earthquake ever
recorded in North America shook southern Alaska. Though
extreme weather conditions, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions,
avalanches, mudslides and wildfires are all potential
threats to Alaskans, the greatest danger is another major
earthquake.
Geologists from the U.S.
Geologic Survey have determined that shallow faults in the
Anchorage area could produce much stronger shaking than
occurred during the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake in
Southcentral Alaska.
Such an earthquake would
leave communities without heat, which could result in
extensive loss of life during the winter.
In the continuing objective
of preparedness, representatives from the Pacific Ocean
Division, Alaska District and other organizations within
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers sponsored a cold weather
response workshop Jan. 23-24 at Fort Richardson’s Camp
Denali to revalidate lessons learned from past cold weather
exercises.
