Until several years ago, people in the Metro region were comfortable in the knowledge that earthquakes were a problem in California to the South and Washington to the North, but they lived in an area without large earthquakes and did not need to worry. All that has changed. New scientific understanding of the Northwest's geologic setting places the Metro region in a zone with high potential of damage from earthquakes. Should this new information about the region's earthquake hazards be considered when planning for how the region grows? This report answers "yes", and suggests how geologic information can be used to influence the region's land use decisions.

This volume focuses on the breakdown in sustainabilityâ€"the capacity of the planet to provide quality of life now and in the futureâ€"that is signaled by disaster. The authors bring to light why land use and sustainability have been ignored in devising public policies to deal with natural hazards. They lay out a vision of sustainability, concrete suggestions for policy reform, and procedures for planning. The book chronicles the long evolution of land-use planning and identifies key components of sustainable planning for hazards. Stressing the importance of balance in land use, the authors offer principles and specific reforms for achieving their visions of sustainability.
