Description

* Oregon and Washington tsunami evacuation zone maps developed by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) and the Washington Department of Natural Resources (WADNR)
*TsunamiEvac-NW app developed by the Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems (NANOOS)

TsunamiEvac-NW provides you an at-a-glance view of where the tsunami hazard zones are along the Oregon and Washington coast, and allows you to map whether your home, work, school, etc. is located in a tsunami evacuation zone or not. To help you develop and plan your own evacuation routes, TsunamiEvac-NW enables you to save your current position or points of interest via GPS or address look-up.

As an important tool in preparing for a potentially catastrophic local or distant tsunami event for residents or visitors to the Pacific Northwest coast, TsunamiEvac-NW also displays the locations of places that will be of critical importance prior to, during, and following a tsunami event, including schools, bridges, assembly areas, and various local government buildings.

Need to know if "user location" is turned on or of

When displaying the evac map, the menu has a choice "User Location (on/off)" but no indication what the current setting is. If you zoom in on location, the evac/safe color disappears. But very useful to be aware of need to evac seldom visited locations.

How about alerts?

There isn't an app to actually create a notification alert if there is an evacuation warning. Maps are great, but it would be nice to be alerted if a tsunami occurs in the pacific northwest. There's an app for the pacific warning system, but that doesn't cover Washington and Oregon (not sure why), but no app currently alerts us.

Handy app

Works great! Lots of info - access to brochures on various areas in the PNW with evacuation instructions. Of course, until one happens, I will not be able to report on how quick/accurate this is.
