Electric power will go out immediately but will be restored to 90 percent of those capable of receiving it within three days.
Pipeline damage causes the loss of piped drinking water in much of the most strongly shaken areas for a week or more.

Between 100,000 and 200,000 addresses lose phone and Internet service for between two to five days.
