But while the Golden State shakes on a regular basis, Washington State, Oregon, and British Columbia are located in a zone that can produce the world's biggest earthquakes and tsunamis. In the eastern part of the continent, small cities and large, from Ottawa to Montr�al to New York City, sit in active earthquake zones. In fact, more than 100-million North Americans live in active seismic zones, many of whom do not realize the risk to their community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor more than a decade, Gregor Craigie interviewed scientists, engineers, and emergency planners about earthquakes, disaster response, and resilience. He has also collected vivid first-hand accounts from people who have survived deadly earthquakes. His fascinating and deeply researched book dives headfirst into explaining the science behind The Big One -- and asks what we can do now to prepare ourselves for events geologists say aren't a matter of if, but when.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Goose Lane Editions","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46289607491735,"sku":"9781773102061","price":1656.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781773102061.webp?v=1767700300","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/on-borrowed-time-north-americas-next-big-quake-9781773102061","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
