2. What do engineers do?

3. Engineers use science math and CREATIVITY to solve problems

4. Solving problems that face people on the coast

9. Tsunami Inundation Large amount of water floods into a land area usually above sea level – this is measured in feet (or meters) above sea level

10. Cascadia Subduction Zone 30 min 1 in 7 chance in the next 50 years

11. 45 – 60 min to evacuate the beach Tsunami Evacuation Area Tsunami Evacuation Area

12. How Can Engineers Help?

13. Models!
