MAP: Tsunami Inundation Map for Emergency Planning - To View this Interactive (GIS) MAP with "Zoom in" capability make sure you "allow pop-ups" in your browser. (suitable for DSL, cable modem, and other fast connections) |
| These maps, produced by California Emergency Management Agency (CalEMA) and California Geological Survey (CGS), are intended for local jurisdictional, coastal evacuation planning uses only. These maps do not represent inundation from a single scenario event. They were created by combining inundation results for a suite of realistic local and distant earthquakes and hypothetical extreme undersea, near-shore landslides, representing the worst-case scenario at any given location. These maps show inundation for the entire Bay Area Oceanside and inner Bay coastline, except for the north Coast of Sonoma County. Modeling was performed by the NOAA/OES-funded USC Tsunami Research Group and the results were verified in the field to improve accuracy. Read more. |
