How will we get around? By foot, bike, and boat, mostly. The region’s quake planners agree: people will be stuck where they are for quite some time. Prepare to bond with the people you’re with—whoever they are—or get walking. PDXMonthly.Com

BRIDGES :  Top-heavy, counterweighted lift spans like the Hawthorne, Steel, and Interstate will likely collapse. So will ramps leading to just about all the bridges.

ROADS:  Vast swaths of the city’s roadways, built on fill and alluvial deposits, will crack and sink.

THE TUNNEL:  Highway 26’s West Hills Tunnel was built before seismic codes. It may prove impassable.

THE GEAR:  All of the city’s road- clearing equipment is stored beneath the certain-to- collapse Fremont Bridge ramps. Seemed like a good idea at the time!

THE FUEL:  Most of Oregon’s fuel supply arrives to the “Critical Energy Infrastructure Hub,” a six- mile stretch of fuel storage tanks and refineries next to the Willamette River between the St. Johns and Fremont Bridges—all built atop vulnerable fill and alluvial deposits. Most fuel gets here by way of a single, vintage 1960s pipe from Washington—owned and operated by BP— beneath the Columbia and Willamette Rivers.

STANDING SPANS:  The Tilikum Crossing and Sellwood Bridge are both built to withstand major earthquakes, as is the aerial tram.

THE BOATS: The Portland Spirit, tugs, and other rivercraft will become ferries.

Based Magnitude on 9.0 Earthquake  Tsunami will arrive 15 minutes after initial shake
