Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Earth scientists estimate that in the next fifty years there roughly a one-in-three chance that the worst natural disaster in America -an earthquake with magnitude of 8.0 or higher- will occur off the northwest coast of the country. When the 700-mile subduction zone suddenly releases energy, communities from Canada to California will experience various levels of devastation. Historical records corroborate that many megathrust events have occurred in the past and that the next one is overdue. In addition, as stress continue to build up along the fault line, the risk of such event will continue to increase. During the last decade, West Coast electric utility company Seattle City Light (SCL) has been preparing itself to provide quick rebound following such an event and minimize service disruptions to their nearly one million customers.  Strategic actions by SCL include seismic strengthening of old and vulnerable substations, use of control devices and qualified equipment, base isolation of high voltage transformers, installation of dampers on switchyard electric infrastructure, and the implemented modern seismic protection practices both in design and construction. As described in this paper, SCL infrastructure resiliency program is strategic, cost effective and simple. Other utility companies serving in regions of high seismic risk may find SCL knowledge and experience useful to avoid long-term power outages resulting from ground shaking.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
