NVS Tsunami Evacuation 2.5

Oregon and Washington offer valuable tsunami evacuation zone maps developed by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) and the Washington Department of Natural Resources (WADNR). Additionally, the NVS Tsunami app, created by the Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems (NANOOS), provides essential information.

The NVS Tsunami app presents a detailed overview of the tsunami hazard zones along the Oregon and Washington coast. It allows users to determine if their residence, workplace, or school falls within a tsunami evacuation zone. The app facilitates the plotting of evacuation routes by saving current locations or points of interest using GPS coordinates or address searches.

Acting as a crucial resource for individuals preparing for potential local or distant tsunami events along the Pacific Northwest coast, the NVS Tsunami app also identifies key locations essential before, during, and after a tsunami event. These locations include schools, bridges, assembly areas, and various local government buildings.

Noteworthy Features:

• Current tsunami information sanctioned by state agencies of Washington and Oregon, in collaboration with emergency managers. This includes evacuation zone maps, crucial location markers, and comprehensive tsunami data for public awareness.
• Direct access to the latest tsunami warning bulletins issued by the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center.
• Search functionality for pinpointing locations via address input or GPS integration.
