Preparedness is a State of Mind
► And a verb. An ongoing process of adapting to risk
► If you are preparing for a Cascadia event, you can handle anything
► In the PNW, we need to prepare to the “tsunami standard”

Building “Community Resilience”1) Learning about physical
coastal processes
2) Assessing their likely impacts on people, environment, infrastructure
3) Developing tools and Implement local adaptation strategies

The invitation is to shift from thinking that this “might
happen” and actually
EXPECT IT!
The challenge is to align our behavior with what we know will
happen

How Do We Know ?► “Turbidites” are
deposits of material that accumulate in the sediments of sea canyons.
► Each great earthquake shakes material off the sides of the canyons.
► Over time, these build as layers whose size and frequency indicate the size and frequency of CSZ events.
► Chris Goldfinger, OSU

The 3 Things You Need to Know
►Big earthquakes make big tsunamis. Know the difference between Local and Distant events.
►If you feel the earth quake, Get to high ground fast (15-30 min). Locate now the Danger Zones and Safe Zones where you live, work, and play.
►Instruct Loved Ones to get to high ground, stay there overnight, and find each other at a shelter. ID non-local contact person to call.

A large earthquake IS your warning that tsunamis are on
their way in 15 – 30 minutes!!
![Page 62: Preparing ODOT Geo-Enviros for Earthquakes and Tsunamis Patrick Corcoran, Associate Professor, OSU Hazards Outreach Specialist, Oregon Sea Grant Extension](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649dd15503460f94ac7dc1/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Local Tsunamis► The areas vulnerable to surge and flooding by
tsunamis include all beaches, shorelines, coastal waterways, and wetlands. Much development exists in these areas.
► Locate where you live, work, and play on Tsunami Inundation Maps (TIMs) and “know where to go” when the next Big One occurs. There will be no warning, you will have 15 – 30 minutes to get to high ground. Period.
► Evacuation Brochures portray the WORST case scenario for a LOCAL event. Get maps at city halls, fire stations, etc. Google: Oregon Tsunami Clearinghouse.

How Do I Reconnect With Family?
DISTANT No problem. Phones, roads and infrastructure may be busy, but intact. Drive home or stay overnight with “friends in high places.”
► LOCAL Big problem. Instruct loved ones to get to high ground, stay there overnight, and find each other later at a shelter. ID a non-local contact person for everyone to call. Do not rush to meet at a designated place as that will likely require family to re-enter danger zones.
► Power and all phones will be out. Roads and bridges will be destroyed. You will likely not be in communication for a while. Insist that everyone knows what to do to be safe wherever they are. Don’t re-enter inundation zones for 12 hours. Talk through these scenarios. Source: Patrick Corcoran, Sea Grant Extension, Oregon State

Families and
Loved Ones
►Do your loved ones understand this infrequent but real hazard? Do they Expect it?
►Will they take distant events in stride; but when the earth quakes move to high ground, stay there overnight, and find you the next day? Are you sure?

Tips for ODOT Field Staff
►Familiarize yourself with inundation maps for where your work locations and travel routes.
►Sharpen your eye with regard to vulnerable areas and safe areas. Go Bags in rigs?
►Talk to your colleagues about your shared physical risks and personal risk tolerance.

Two Tsunami Scenarios
►Distant: Where are you? Inundation zone? What do you do? When will you be able to reconnect with loved ones?
►Local: Where are you? Inundation zone? What do you do? When will you be able to reconnect with loved ones?

We’re Culturally Unprepared
► Research has only in the past 25+ years revealed that Cascadia erupts in Great (M9) earthquakes and tsunamis.
► It’s understandable that we’re behind the curve. But, we must make up for lost time. We must prepare commensurate with the risk—which is great.
► In Japan 2011, 20k people tragically died. But over 200k were in the inundation zone at the time. So, 90% of Japanese successfully evacuated!
