Updated tsunami hazard maps for Orange County will aid in planning evacuations should such a wave threaten local communities, the California Geological Survey said.
The map is an update of the previous version, which was published in 2009. In Newport Beach, the tsunami hazard zone was increased slightly in the latest map to help facilitate evacuation responses. Hazard zones include the area between the Balboa Peninsula and Pacific Coast Highway, as well as Newport’s Back Bay.
Meanwhile in Bolsa Chica and Huntington Beach, the tsunami hazard zone shrunk after new data showed that levees and ponds can help protect residents.

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.
