Tsunami warning: White House gets ready for the ‘Big One’ to strike

By JON AUSTIN

The US Government is today preparing how to tackle a predicted tsunami strike following an magnitude-9 earthquake that it fears will be the country’s biggest ever natural disaster.

The White House Earthquake Resilience Summit will be streamed live on the internet iat 5.30pm.

Emergency response officials are preparing how to deal with a magnitude-9 undersea earthquake which they expect will be triggered by the Cascadia fault line.

Experts have know there is a very real threat of the quake, but have only now begun planning the response in earnest.

 

 

 

The White House said a new commitment to develop an earthquake early-warning system for the US will be announced at today’s summit.

The fault line lies in the Cascadia Subduction Zone, which is seventy miles off America’s Pacific Northwest and stretches all the way from Vancouver Island to Northern California.

It is a seismic activity hotspot area where a massive quake has historically happened on average every 240 years.

It could be one of the worst natural disasters to ever hit the US

But scientists, who warn that more needs to be done to prepare for the impending disaster, say the last one was 315 years ago -so it is 75 years overdue.

The problem lies with the subduction zone where it meets the Oceanic Plate and is slowly forced beneath the North American plate.

Chris Goldfinger, Oregon State earthquake geologist said: “It buckles upward and it gets pushed backward like a spring until eventually, after a few hundred years, it just has to let go.”

Researchers from the University of Washington have helped create a system which will be used across the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN).

It could be live this year.

PNSN has released a video showing how the ShakeAlert system could provide 28 seconds’ warning of a magnitude-8 quake off the coast of Oregon.

It would take around a further 15 minutes from then for the wave to reach the shore.

John Vidale, of the UW Seismo Lab, will explain how the early warning system works today.

The idea is we’re supposed to have a system that can tell people anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes before shaking comes in a big earthquake, and right now we tell people after it’s all over, which is useful but not as useful as telling them bef

John Vidale, of the UW Seismo Lab

He said: “The idea is we’re supposed to have a system that can tell people anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes before shaking comes in a big earthquake, and right now we tell people after it’s all over, which is useful but not as useful as telling them before it happens.

The alert will be able to get to people who have signed up’s mobile phone in one second.

Early-warning systems look out for milder P-waves, which travel more quickly through the earth than the stronger tsunami causers.

The seconds of advance notice gives emergency responders time to turn off gas supplies to limit explosion risks, stop lifts, slow trains and protect other infrastructure.

It is estimated it will cost around £25million to set up and £10million a year to cover the west coast.

There is no reason to believe the earthquake is imminent, but scientists accept it could come at any time and is long overdue based on historical activity.

      having a summit does not equal getting ready….but if you say so.

      • Anonymous

        Having a summit equals getting ready, to get ready, to get ready.

        That’s why we are never ready for anything anymore.

      • Dustdevil

        Summits are designed as ways to get a lot of people together that otherwise wouldn’t be able to, so they can talk about super-secret topics between the ‘presented’ slides of the disclosed purpose of the summit. This way, they can talk gun control, carbon tax, privacy elimination, and more, and not have to actually admit to anything they did other than talk about how they went there to ‘help you’ at the ‘Earthquake Symposium 16′, all while costing $20-million per each person’s entourage (security, family, mistresses, etc.) to go too.

        Russia never had such corruption in all their Communist days, and we hated them thinking they did. Now, we’re 10x worse and we just turn a blind eye to it. What an unending nightmare. Wait, i think I hear a bible-thumper coming to tell me how all this gets better one day. Someone stop this 1-horse merry-go-round, I want off.

    • Wizenheimer

      Odd comment, you’d think the White House would welcome a Tsunami.

      • Busta Myth

        So they think the W(s)hitehouse is gonna get waterboarded ? :roll:

        • underdog

          lol

    • Manichee

      Ideal for the surfers then :lol:

    • Judge Roy Bean

      What if the Constitutionally granted ten square miles of Washington DC was swallowed up by an enormous sink hole?

      • TuffENuff

        We could blame it on Adam Lanza and have the police chief declare that anyone who questions the official narrative will be arrested.

        • duncombemu

          They could always blame it on the Russians.

    • stock

      Our “scientists” are over paid, misguided, have lost the ability for intuition to create smart hypothesis to be tested. Powers of observation have been reduced to re-hashing what someone else already did.

      They promise 28 seconds of warning after spending hundreds of millions.

      But citizen scientists can provide a week or more of warning based on smart observations and intuition.

        lm worried about the elites in bunkers.Are they safe enough?

    • Brew

      This has been predicted for how long? Just a repeat or previous earthquake predictions.

    • Room With a View

      I smell a false flag. There may be an overdue earthquake there and I am willing to wager a bet that they are using their earthquake/tsunami machine to give those plates a little nudge along. I hope my friends in California will survive.

    • DWood

      It is not overdue these are AVERAGES the fault has gone as long as 1000 years between giant quakes. So yeah one could happen now or in 100-700 years from now. the southern half of the fault breaks more often than the whole fault which would be a quake in the mid to high 8′s with a much smaller tsunami. Still bad but the chit chat about the scenario is just out of hand, it is just as likely the next giant quake in the United States will be a New Madrid quake. Or a Puerto Rico trench quake that sends a tsunami onto the gulf and east coasts. Most likely of all though is probably another big quake in Alaska. If you live in a quake prone area you take appropriate precautions just like living in a hurricane or tornado zone and of course the government should be preparing for all potential disasters, but no matter how much they blather on about them they are always unprepared and handle anything that happens badly.

    • Everette

      Seems common sense goes out the window anymore . Why would someone want to stay in a place that you have been told that the fault is locked up . That means at anytime it could break loose . Pack your bags and leave ! If and when this happens people will blame any and everyone for their stupidity . What can the government do ? We are broke so we can’t pay to move everyone inland ? It’s like a curse everyone wants that dirt on the west coast . I realize that poor people are kind of stuck unless they start walking now . What they are going to need to survive this one is something very strong made into a bubble for escape like a sub . Going to get beat around a bit unless it is secure and then realeased after the great wave . But then debree could be thrown onto it so release is not possible . Just thinking out loud ! Get the hell out of dodge ! You live in the ring of fire . That also means volcanos may even go off . If you plan on staying you had better have everything in order with GOD . Because what they are saying also plays in hand with the bible . It shall come suddenly ! At a time when not expected . What is a 15 minute warning when you have to drive inland at least 50 miles ? You would have to drive at least 200 mph to out run the wave coming . Hope you got a Dodge hellcat or something the like . The roads may also have been effected with large sink holes or valleys . Not telling anyone what to do , but pack your bags and move inland . Other states have jobs . Your life and families lives are not worth staying . When they said the fault is locked up , that was the time to leave . Because at anytime it may go .

    • Everette

      Common sense has left the room . Pack your bags and head inland . What the hell is a job with missing family members or hurt or disabled from the wave slamming you around . That is if you live through it . The government is broke they can’t move everyone inland . Besides this is right up the NWO , Georgia Guide Stones alley . You live in the ring of fire , that could also set off volcanos . Leave that GOD forsaken place ! When they let the satanist church set up residence there they were sunk anyway . The faults they say is locked up . That means at anytime the great one could happen . You would have to drive inland at 200 mph to out run the wave coming in 15 minutes after the quake in order to make it inland 50 miles to be safe . Your life is not worth that job or property . But if you decide to stay , you better have your affairs in order with GOD . Because if you plan on getting your family together and out running the wave , you still may have road blocks , sink holes and cracks or masive trenches in the road systems from the earthquake . Others will have the same idea and there will be jams and wrecks everywhere . Get out now ! It’s not worth your life !

        barry needs to stay at the helm of the sinking ship.

    • djfxw

      Ok so, what will happen first…this? Or the Nibiru crashing into Earth?

    • underdog

      oh god forbid someone so important would be in the WH at the time this thing hits . hint hint .
