Alaska has improved since earthquake 50 years ago on March 1964

March 27, 1964 a 9.2 earthquake shook South Central Alaska caused 131 deaths most were Alaskans in coastal towns.  Since then Alaska has still be a tourist destination for many Americans.  Alaska has grown to a population of nearly 800,000 people with Anchorage at nearly 300,000 resident which it was only at 100,000 back in 1964.  Many coastal towns also grew twice there size since the earthquake.  Valdez became a major hub for oil companies.  Seward became more a tourist trap.  Homer and Kodiak became great places for commercial fishing.  Many towns also perished during the disaster such as Afognak and Kayguyak.  The Tsunami Warning system was developed and stricter building standards were developed for buildings in the earthquake zones.  Anchorage spread out beyond their downtown core settled in area previous not really settled in like Muldoon, Anchorage Hillside, Lower Hillside, Dimond and Sand Lake areas.  Question is will Alaska be ready for the next big earthquake.  I think it will be and our emergency responders will help each other in a natural disaster.
