The California Geological Survey (CGS) has released new interactive Tsunami Hazard Area maps for Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, useful for evacuation planning in an extraordinary event.
The maps allow users to type in an address to determine whether a particular property is within a tsunami hazard area. Local tsunami evacuation material will be added to the online map interface as it is developed. To view the maps, visit https://www.conservation.ca.gov/cgs/Pages/Tsunami/TsunamiHome.aspx.
Working with the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), the Tsunami Hazard Area maps include new data and improved computer modeling results, and replace maps published by CGS in 2009.
