Service Description: The mission of the Washington Geological Survey (WGS) is to collect, develop, use, distribute, and preserve geologic information to promote the safety, health, and welfare of the citizens, protect the environment, and support the economy of Washington. In order to do this, WGS works with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the University of Washington to model the inundation (flooding) of coastal areas from tsunamis. From these models the WGS produces tsunami inundation maps to communicate the hazard identified in these models to emergency management, planners, and the public to prepare for the next event in Washington. The WGS works with the Washington Emergency Management Division and local, county, tribal, and other planners and emergency managers to develop, publish, and distribute pedestrian evacuation maps, and evacuation brochures. These maps and brochures are made for areas that are especially at risk for damaging tsunamis. This feature class contains polygons for areas that have published tsunami inundation maps, and areas for which pedestrian evacuation walk maps, or evacuation brochures were generated. It is also useful for representing where gaps in modeling exist for a given earthquake scenario. The source publications for these data and original model data, where available, are provided as hyperlinks within this feature class.

Walk Time Evacuation Maps (0)
Evacuation Brochures (1)

Description:

This layer provides the boundaries of the modeled areas and links to download map products. Tsunami map products include:

Hazard Maps (inundation and current speed) - modeled inundation for a range of earthquake scenarios. Click on the hazard map outlines and download the publications for more specific information about each map.

Tsunami Evacuation Brochures - these products cover selected populated coastal areas. It is important to note that the full extent of tsunami inundation is not always captured in one single evacuation brochure.

Tsunami Evacuation Walk Time Maps (which replace the evacuation brochures where available) - these maps show the amount of time it would take for somebody to walk to safety from the inundation zone.
