Listen to experts talk about the science in your neighborhood and around the world. You don’t have to be a science geek to have fun—all you need is a thirst for knowledge!</p> <p>Date: Tuesday, October 7, 2014</p> <p>Time: Doors at 6 p.m. event at 7 p.m.</p> <p>Location: Clinton Street Theater, 2522 SE Clinton Street, Portland, Ore.</p> <p>Cost: $8 online advance tickets, $10* suggested cover at the door</p> <p>Food & Drink: Beer, wine, popcorn, and snacks available. You’re welcome to bring food into the theater with you.</p> <p>Event Description</p> <p>The entire Pacific Northwest is sitting on a geologic time bomb known as the Cascadia Subduction Zone. When this fault line slips we could experience earthquakes and devastation as bad as Japan suffered in 2011, and coastal communities could have as few as 20 minutes before a tsunami rushes ashore. Yes, that’s WHEN it goes, not IF.</p> <p>Yet it’s not all doom and gloom. Scientists and engineers are working to prepare our communities and infrastructure to withstand such devastation. Yumei Wang, geotechnical engineer, Geohazards Team Leader from the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI), will talk about what is in store for the Pacific Northwest and how cities are preparing. We’ll also be joined by a disaster preparedness expert from the Red Cross who will give practical ideas for how to prepare yourself and your family.</p> <p>Event website</p> <hr> <p>*A note on the suggested cover at the door: Science on Tap is mostly supported by money collected at the door. We are committed to offering educational opportunities to adults who want to learn, so if $10 is a hardship for you, please come anyway and donate what you can.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://www.viaproductions.org/events/clinton_oct_7_megaquake/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
