Earthquake rescue might come from above

When the Cascadia Subduction Zone ruptures in a massive earthquake and tsunami, the closest the outside world might get to Washington’s Pacific Coast for a week or more is this small logging town on the southwest Puget Sound. There’s plenty of open space at the old Mason County Fairgrounds, and a long stretch of runway at Sanderson Field that the Washington National Guard expects to survive. That’s where the Washington National Guard expects to stage its search, rescue and recovery operations for communities like Grays Harbor, Aberdeen and other towns along the coast and throughout the Olympic Peninsula, when the quake happens./ Jim Camden , SR.
