Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office and Office of Oregon Emergency Management are coordinating community presentations focusing on what you need to know and how to prepare for distant tsunamis and the Cascadia subduction zone earthquake. 

This March marks the 7^th anniversary of the Great Tohoku, Japan Earthquake and Tsunami (more information on this event at the end of media release.) Local public safety officials encourage community members to use this anniversary as a reminder to learn about Cascadia and how a distant tsunami may affect our communities.

Office of Oregon Emergency Management will work with local community leaders on tsunami ready programs, tsunami evacuation drill planning and distant tsunami response plans as well as provide a focused “Tsunami Preparedness Chat” for the public in Gleneden Beach, details below.

Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office – Emergency Management Division will host six public presentations for community members to learn about the history of Cascadia, what to expect, and how to prepare for the immediate aftermath of such an event.

The events are open to the public and free; contact Lincoln County Emergency Manager, Jenny Demaris for more information. Presentation announcements for these events can be found on our County website at: www.co.lincoln.or.us/emergencymanagement .
