Scientists warn that a catastrophic earthquake and tsunami are inevitable for the Pacific Northwest coast due to the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Existing infrastructure is not prepared for the potential devastation, and retrofitting communities will be a lengthy and costly process. Immediate investments in vertical evacuation structures within the tsunami zone are needed to save lives, as the region faces the challenge of balancing the high cost of preparation against the uncertainty of when the next disaster will strike.
