TSUNAMI MAPS
Disclaimer for the tsunami link: Note this data
was compiled from GIS overlays that show the
SB379 tsunami inundation line along selected area of Tillamook County coastline.
These data maps have been overlaid on top of a 2000/01 aerial photograph of
the coast. Note that the SB379 line was originally mapped in 1995 and published
as a series of DOGAMI open-file-reports for various cities along the coast.
This data is NOT an official map and should only be used as a guide. The official
map can be accessed via DOGAMI website:
HAZARD AREA MAPS
NON-TSUNAMI HAZARD AREA MAPS
Communities not mapped are NOT considered to be in a Tsunami High Hazard
Zone. Safe areas are located anywhere 1 mile or more inland from the coastline.
If you are within a mile of the beach go to higher ground. Anywhere over 50 feet
is
considered safe. However, if you are along a river, creek or slough go to higher
ground since there will be some run up along these areas.
