Built to last and absorb ... The Nisqually, Wash., quake on Feb. 28, 2001, registered 6.8 on the Richter Scale and was felt throughout the greater Puget Sound region. That quake gave staff members a forewarning of what it was like to experience a sizable seismic shaking, as the epicenter is approximately 50 miles south of Naval Hospital Bremerton. As a result of that tremor and where the command is situated, NHB completed a unique seismic retrofit project in 2007 which vastly improved the structural ability of the facility to withstand a large earthquake. NHB Facilities Management department has safeguarded the core building with the seismic retrofit - shock absorbing inertia dampeners - to prevent the upper floors from transitioning from the initial shaking to the rolling circular motion experienced during the 2001 Nisqually Quake.
