Portland schools name Beverly Cleary, Rose City Park for full seismic retrofits under $100M plan District staff recommended prioritizing Beverly Cleary (Fernwood) and Rose City Park for full campus seismic retrofits and listed targeted retrofits at other schools, citing a formula that weights seismic risk, deferred maintenance and enrollment. The board discussed timing, swing‑space and equity as rightsizing work continues in parallel.

Portland Public Schools is set to invest $100 million in seismic retrofits for its highest-risk buildings, prioritizing safety and modernization for students.

Japanese Gov’t Estimates 18,000 Could Die In Major Earthquake In Tokyo Metropolitan Area In Next Decades TOKYO, Dec 19 (NNN-NHK) – A powerful earthquake, that has a high chance of occurring beneath Tokyo and nearby areas, within the next few decades, could kill up to 18,000 people, according to the damage estimates, released by the government today. The latest figure, made under the scenario of a magnitude-7.3 quake, centered in the southern part of central Tokyo, is about 20 percent lower than the previous estimate in 2013, due to improvements in seismic-prepared buildings and fire prevention measures, the government panel said. The economic damage amount was projected at 82.6 trillion yen (about 530 billion U.S. dollars) […]

District presents revised seismic-prioritization formula, targets two full-campus retrofits Portland Public Schools staff outlined a hybrid seismic-prioritization approach that places roughly 90% weight on seismic risk, with smaller weights for facility improvements and enrollment. Holmes Structures explained targeted retrofit strategies (URM gymnasiums and load-bearing walls) and said two full-campus retrofits fit the current bond round.

Portland Public Schools has unveiled a seismic-prioritization framework that could revolutionize campus safety and modernize facilities with a staggering $100 million bond.

Turning smartphones into earthquake sensors The impact of an earthquake on people and property depends not only on the earthquake's characteristics like magnitude and depth, but also on local soil conditions, which contribute to the so-called "site effect." Mapping the site effect at a high spatial resolution in an urban context is crucial for understanding which areas and buildings are at higher risk or under greater stress during subsequent seismic events.

Earthquakes aren't just about power—it's *where* they hit! 🗺️ Local soil can amplify tremors, creating hidden risk zones. Understanding this site effect is key! 🤯 #SeismicSafety
