PCEM to introduce tsunami maps

The Pacific County Emergency Management Agency and the Washington Geological Survey are set to introduce Draft Tsunami Walk Maps to the PCEMA Council.

Tsunami and earthquake experts will be in Pacific County June 19 for presentations and discussions to the PCEMA Council on newly drafted tsunami evacuation walk maps. This will be an opportunity for community stakeholders and government leaders to see the preliminary drafts of these products for the Ilwaco/Cape Disappointment area, as well as for the Seaview/Long Beach area. Leaders will also be given the opportunity to discuss routing, assembly areas, wave arrival times, and other points of interest.

Officials from the Washington Emergency Management Division will be joined by the Washington Geological Survey and the Pacific County Emergency Management Agency. There will also be a brief opportunity for public comment.

The meeting will be held in the BoCC Meeting Room located in the Pacific County Annex, 1216 Robert Bush Drive W, in South Bend. For more information contact Scott McDougall at smcdougall@co.pacific.wa.us or (360) 875-9338 or (360)642-9338.
