Description
Coastal Alaska communities live with the most serious tsunami hazard in the United States. The Alaska Earthquake Center helps coastal communities prepare for the next tsunami disaster. We provide state and local officials with the best available scientific information for addressing the variety of tsunami hazards faced by their communities. These community-specific brochures distill information from several scientific publications, such as tsunami inundation reports, pedestrian travel time maps, and maritime response guidance, into a handy, quick reference. The brochures include maps with community-designated safety information, historical tsunami information, as well as links for local and statewide tsunami preparedness information. The brochures are rack-card size for easy display, and a great safety resource for both locals and visitors. The Earthquake Center partnered with the Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management and the City of Seward to create this brochure, tailoring the map, safety contact information, and historical information to this location.
