| Notes | “Distant tsunamis affecting the West Coast of the United States over the past two decades have resulted in significant damage to ports and harbors as well as to recreational and commercial vessels attempting to escape the tsunami. Although local tsunamis will strike the coast within minutes after the start of earthquake shaking, providing little time to evacuate, distant tsunamis are expected to arrive some four to 12 hours after the event, providing time to respond. This study evaluates new tsunami modeling results completed for both distant and local tsunamis impacting the Umpqua Estuary, including the towns of Winchester Bay and Reedsport” (from the Executive Summary).
