Are Portland and Seattle prepared for a mega-earthquake?

A string of recent earthquakes along Western coastlines, from Mt. Redoubt in Alaska to Chile in South America, has led many to wonder if the Pacific Northwest is next. In fact, on July 19 a 5.1 magnitude earthquake hit off the coast of Vancouver, British Columbia. (Breaking news: A 5.2 earthquake struck Wed. morning, July 28, off the Oregon Coast.)

Will Oregon buildings and roads crumble? Are local and state governments prepared? Do citizens have proper supplies in their homes should a massive quake bring local and regional commerce to a halt?
