Hohn Aho, an Anchorage consulting engineer and chairman of Alaska’s commission. “Earthquake risk mitigation means more than just stockpiling supplies, knowing what to do when the ground shakes, and conducting preparedness drills,” Aho said. “It means taking measures ahead of time to reduce vulnerability to damage and loss of life, like identifying areas at highest risk from earthquakes and tsunamis, using effective land-use and construction practices, and strengthening existing structures.”
