Everything You Need to Know About Earthquakes and Tsunamis

TSUNAMI 101 Roadshow

Get ready for an evening packed with life-saving information! Experts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Oregon Department of Emergency Management, and the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries are coming to our community to share what you need to know before, during, and after a major emergency.

You'll learn what those alerts, watches, and warnings actually mean and what to do before a disaster hits so you are as prepared as possible. You'll also get a closer look at Assembly Areas: where they are in our region, what they're designed for, and what resources will be available there.

Download the NVS Tsunami App before you come! The Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries has created a free app to help you find a safe evacuation route during an earthquake and tsunami. Available for Apple and Android devices, the app gives you an at-a-glance view of whether you're in a tsunami evacuation zone — and shows your route to safety, wherever you are. Presenters will walk through the app during the session, so download it ahead of time and come ready to explore it together.

This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from regional experts and come away with real tools and knowledge to protect yourself and your family. We hope to see you there!
