Five hundred years between major earthquakes puts a lot of time before the next big one. But many experts say the region is still largely unprepared for even moderate shaking. Many parts of Alaska—which experiences large quakes more frequently—put in strict building codes after an earthquake devastated the state in 1964.

A flash of sun bounces off a poster commemorating the school’s 2019 state championship that adorns a wall of the brick concession stand.
