Oh please... you are all making me laugh and roll my eyes at the same time.
They wouldn't prep the NG for a Cascadia major EQ.... because they do not know when it will happen.
additionally
1. you are a bit late for the Baja and So Ca EQ swarm... ended Feb 26. They are still getting the occasional one in the area, but it's a GEOTHERMAL area... therefor, expected. Always expect activity in geothermal areas, somewhere between 1 and 100 EQ's a day is normal for most. They are all between 0.1 and 2.9 mag.
2. the Geysers swarms started to happen about 2 weeks into the Baja swarm, around the same time that Baja was petering out. plus, the biggest they've gotten is 4.1, something over 90% of the population in the area didn't feel.
3. 9.0??? on WHAT fault??? Never heard of that ESPECIALLY in Oregon. You get your info from another panic board? or from a geologist? not indirectly, but directly. This is the only evidence I could find to support this claim "Geologists who were studying mud and sand deposits in coastal marshes from Coos Bay to Astoria found evidence that great earthquakes of magnitude 8 to
perhaps 9 have occurred along the outer coast. The geologic record shows that the last event was about 300 years ago and that these great earthquakes occur about every 400 to 600 years." still 1-3 centuries from now.

otherwise, don't expect anything larger than mid 7 mag. Oregon isn't very seismically active as compared to it's neighboring states California and Washington. South of the triple junction at Mendocino, is where you can expect most activity... even then, most is San Francisco or south.
4. Don't expect to actually feel something less than a 4.5, it's pretty unlikely you'll feel it especially in a hard rock (meaning granitic bedrock and similar material) region like most of oregon. Also, it's highly unlikely that anything less than a 6.0 will do much more than catch your attention, example Wells, NV about 1.5 weeks ago. If you have everything properly secured, then you shouldn't have too much to fret over.
5. Fretting over an earthquake is just going to make your hair turn white. Between CA, NV, Or, and WA there is maybe 1-6.0 or higher in every few years. Something greater than 7.0 is on the order of 5 to 10 years... little quiz.. within these 4 states, how long ago was the last 7.0 or greater and where was it? how long before that? and before that?
Answer.... 2 off coast Northern CA in '94 then '05, on in south CA in '99. But, I believe not much if any damage was caused.
