We owe Jim Buck a huge debt of gratitude on this issue.  He's been pushing steadily to get it recognized and discussed for at least the last ten years  --  and when he started, the PDN wasn't even willing to mention the fact that we might need to be self-sufficient for several weeks after the Big One.  

John Brewer, do you remember telling a pair of sisters  that an earthquake 100 miles away wouldn't affect Port Angeles?  We have Jim Buck's tireless persistence to thank for the fact that now you understand that it will, and that it needs to be talked about.
