>A general description of who will die
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=804K6i4It1w
>Pretty much how it will look
The Cascadian Subduction zone has the potential to unleash an earthquake with sixty times the power of the San Andreas fault line
Imagine these things happening to the area where you live
>Pipes breaking
>Power lines falling
>Roads shearing apart
>Foundations cracking
>Homes collapsing
>Trees falling
>Gas lines severing
Now think about what those things do to your community
>Water stops flowing into your home, your home may partially flood
>Power is no longer delivered to your home or the community, there is no electric heat, lighting, or refrigeration
>Roads become impassable, tarmacs are unusable for landing medium and large planes
>Windows break from flexing frames, roofs cave in, houses collapse, and many become unsafe to live in
>Trees further take down power, smash cars, destroy homes, and block road access
>Flammable gas is now seeping into homes and businesses and the threat of fires and explosions are very real
All of that is just in the first hour or two, so if you weren't at the beach, hit by debris, or pulled down into the broken earth you're going to be alive
Alive to deal with the aftermath
>No water
>No power
>No sanitation
>No food delivery
>No immediate emergency aid
>Minimal shelter
>Minimal medical care
>Minimal law enforcement
Which all leads to
>Dehydration
>Waterborne illness
>Hypothermia
>Food based diseases
>Waste based diseases
>Malnutrition
>Starvation
>Shock
>Infection
>Exposure
>Amputation to treat infection and trauma
>Death during childbirth
>Looting
>Rape
>Murder
All of which contribute to the chances of people dying and getting injuries/diseases/disorders that make them much more likely to die
No help will come because it can't come; there aren't functioning roads, ports, or airstrips right where there need to be
I myself will be right between the tsunami disaster zone and the potential lahar flow
Me and everyone living around me will be double fucked by refuges heading East and extreme geographic bottlenecks to the West
At least if we were EMPd we would still have our roads and homes, even if help wasn't coming for months or years
This is literally one of the worst things that could happen to a population that isn't an extinction event
