Presentation transcript:

Pacific County, Washington a Area of Significant Tsunami Exposure Pacific Ocean Willapa Bay 18 Mile Exposure to the Columbia River 975 Square Miles – Pop: 21,000 Economy is based on forest products, tourism, and fishing and agriculture PCEMA was formed in 1986 with a mission of preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation for Pacific County and the cities of Ilwaco, Long Beach, Raymond and South Bend Stephanie Fritts, Director Pacific County Emergency Management Agency

State and Federal Agency Involvement In 1994 PCEMA directed the focus of the agency to the tsunami hazard following a distant source tsunami warning event in October of the same year. At that time there was little support from state and/or federal agencies. WA State EMD and the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program Stephanie Fritts, Director Pacific County Emergency Management Agency

Inundation Mapping Washington State Emergency Management Division formed a Washington State and Local Tsunami Workgroup. County requests for mapping of existing geologic evidence and inundation potential for a worst case local event scenario. Stephanie Fritts, Director Pacific County Emergency Management Agency

Partnerships National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program Awareness brochures Evacuation maps Evacuation signs Video development Inundation map Products InundationEvacuation

Local Outreach Local outreach is essential – Message credibility PCEMA has delivered preparedness and mitigation messages through numerous forums and workshops to area residents Stephanie Fritts, Director Pacific County Emergency Management Agency

Warning Systems Multi-layered systems –Ground shaking –National Weather Radio –Telephonic system –Emergency Alert System –Partnership with fire services –All Hazard Alert Broadcast system Stephanie Fritts, Director Pacific County Emergency Management Agency

AHAB Coverage & Evacuation Areas Stephanie Fritts, Director Pacific County Emergency Management Agency The existing AHAB system will be tested and the coverage map refined. Additional AHAB units are needed. High ground evac areas are privately owned. MOU’s being developed with landowners in high ground areas of Tokeland and North Cove

“Tsunami Ready” Tsunami Ready does not mean.... Tsunami Prepared “Tsunami Ready” is a program to assess community warning readiness. Stephanie Fritts, Director Pacific County Emergency Management Agency

Partnership Future Local emergency management and the scientific community will continue to work together. On going and future projects must be funded – –Public Education –Vehicular evacuation modeling –Expanded warning systems Stephanie Fritts, Director Pacific County Emergency Management Agency
