RESOURCES

To prepare for AS WE KNOW IT, I spent months poring over every article, presentation, interview, and document I could get my hands on—and believe it or not, there was one thing every scientist seemed to agree on: The Pacific Northwest will see a catastrophic seismic event, it’s just a matter of when.
 
It’s my hope that by listing my favorite resources, readers may spark an interest in further research and preparation.
