A cluster of earthquakes off the southern Oregon coast has sparked worry online, but local officials say it’s nothing out of the ordinary. The Pacific County Emergency Management Agency reminded residents that quakes happen often where several faults meet offshore. They say the long-term risk of a big quake or tsunami hasn’t changed, even if the timing is always uncertain. Their advice: skip the panic, know your evacuation route, and keep a go bag ready.
