    1.2 Description
      1.2.1 Abstract:
                    There has been a significant increase in the
                    understanding of earthquake hazards in the Pacific
                    Northwest.  It is now known that Oregon may
                    experience damaging earthquakes much larger than
                    any that have past.  Planning to respond to
                    earthquake disasters and strengthening homes,
                    buildings and power, water, communication and
                    transportation lifelines can greatly reduce the
                    impact of an earthquake.  These measures should be
                    based on the best possible forecast of the amount
                    and distribution of future earthquake damage. 
                    Earthquake hazard maps such as those in this
                    publication provide such a forecast.
      1.2.2 Purpose:
                    These maps identify those areas in selected
                    Northwestern Oregon communities that will suffer
                    more damage, relative to other areas, during a
                    damaging earthquake.  The analysis is based on the
                    behavior of the soils, and does not depict the
                    absolute earthquake hazard at any particular site.
