New Tsunami Preparedness Capability

March 11, 2021 marks the 10th anniversary of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, and is a good time to prepare for a tsunami on the Pacific Northwest Coast. The NVS Tsunami Evacuation App now provides a custom map view showing your quickest street route to safety after a local Cascadia earthquake, as well as the distance to safety and how fast you need to travel to escape the tsunami. This initial rollout of the tool is for the communities of Seaside, Rockaway Beach, Pacific City, and Coos Bay. NANOOS thanks Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries and University of Oregon InfoGraphics Lab for their leadership on this collaboration.
