Join the Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) and the Tillamook Emergency Volunteer Corps as we present Tsunami 101 on Wednesday, April 1 from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM at the Tillamook County Library, 1716 3rd St, Tillamook.
Don’t Miss This: Tsunami 101 Roadshow
Living on the Oregon Coast means living with the reality of tsunami risk. Whether you’ve been here for decades or just a few years, there’s always more to know — and this free community event is one of the best opportunities we’ve seen to get informed and get prepared.
Regional experts are coming to Tillamook City to share life-saving information on what to do before, during, and after a major seismic event. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what those alerts, watches, and warnings actually mean, and — most importantly — what actions to take when they’re issued.
You’ll also learn about Assembly Areas — the designated gathering locations in our region where community members can go during an emergency. Where are they? What are they designed for? What will be available there? This presentation will answer all of that.
Before you come, download the NVS Tsunami App.
The Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries has developed a free app (Apple and Android) that shows you at a glance whether you’re in a tsunami evacuation zone — and maps your safest route to higher ground, wherever you are in the county. Presenters will walk through the app during the session, so download it ahead of time and come ready to explore it together.
