Vulnerability and lmpacts <br />Life Safety and Health: The entire population in Kittitas County is vulnerable to direct and indirect <br />impacts of a major earthquake in or around the planning area. The degree of exposure is dependent on <br />several factors (e.9., age and construction type of the structures people live in, the soil type the homes <br />are constructed on, their proximity to fault location). Whether directly or indirectly impacted, the entire <br />population will be vulnerable to the consequences of earthquakes to some degree. Business interruption <br />could keep people from working, road closures could isolate populations, and utility failures could impact <br />health and life safety of the population that suffered no direct damage from the actual event. <br />Property Damage and Critical lnfrastructure: Earthquakes are capable of producing significant <br />damage to property and critical infrastructure, especially in built environments.
