The Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) has
released five more maps in its new, second-generation tsunami evacuation map
series for communities along the Oregon coast. This set includes communities in
Lincoln and Tillamook Counties. The purpose of the evacuation map is to help
people identify safe evacuation routes and assembly areas, as developed by local
emergency authorities. The maps are available free online in PDF
format.
* Newport North and Newport South
* Neskowin
* Pacific City
* Sand Lake and Tierra Del Mar
These evacuation maps incorporate the best tsunami science that is
available today, including updated computer simulation models using
high-resolution lidar topographic data and knowledge gained from the 2004
Sumatra, 2010 Chile, and 2011 Tohoku earthquakes and tsunamis.
