These days, her syndicated strip "Stone Soup" celebrates a loving, <br />hilarious, blended, extended family - and it's read by millions of fans in more <br />than 250 newspapers worldwide. <br /> <br />Eliot’s latest book is the eighth volume of collected “Stone Soup” strips, “We’ll <br />Be Really Careful!” Her books will be available for purchase and signing at the <br />talk, courtesy of the University of Oregon Bookstore/Duck Store. <br /> <br />For more information, contact the Eugene Public Library at 541-682-5450 or www.eugene-or.gov/library. <br /> <br />Earthquake and Tsunami Awareness in Oregon <br />Oregon Emergency Management Geologic Hazards Coordinator Althea Rizzo and other state agency experts will <br />hold a free earthquake and tsunami preparedness workshop on the University of Oregon campus May 11 from 6 – 9 <br />p.m. <br /> <br />Scientific evidence indicates that Oregon is at risk for a much larger <br />and potentially more damaging earthquake associated with the <br />Cascadia Subduction Zone that is expected to generate strong ground <br />shaking and a destructive tsunami. Historically, Oregon has suffered <br />considerable damage from two moderate earthquake events in 1993, <br />and a distant tsunami from Alaska in 1964. The recent earthquake and <br />tsunami in Japan and subsequent damage to the southern Oregon <br />coast brings the hazard home and offers a teachable moment. <br /> <br />The public is invited to participate in this talk about how to be more prepared for earthquakes and tsunamis in <br />Oregon. To RSVP for this event or for more information, contact Stacy Burr, City of Eugene Emergency <br />Management, at 541-682-5860. <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />May 5, 2011 <br />
