Local Planning Guidance on Tsunami Response
The California Office of Emergency Services (OES) created this planning guidance to assist local governments in the initial development of a tsunami repsonse plan and the procedures necessary to deal with a tsunami’s impact on their communities. The guidance covers three main areas:
- Use of Model Inundation Maps
- Development of tsunami specific plans, including evacuations procedures
- Explanation of tsunami warning procedures.
The planning guidance is designed for use by local governments but may also be useful for the state and federal agencies that support local governments.
