It is interesting to look at the contrast you will find within certain region of the United States. In some parts of the region, it is like summer never ends. And, other places, it seems winter always stays. Mild temperatures and heavy rain falls in the mountains help create dents forests. And yet in other parts of the region, water must be channeled to balance to help create the world’s richest farm lands. People migrate to this region from other parts of the country, and from other parts of the world to try a new way of life; a way of life which can be threatened by disasters. We will find this contrast in the states which make up the Pacific Region of the United States. California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Hawaii; all have borders on the Pacific Ocean, from which the region gets it name. Alaska is the largest of the United States. Compare its size to the rest of the country.
