Distant Tsunami Working Group
Oregon Emergency Management is establishing a Distant Tsunami Response Working Group to create a standardized response to a distant tsunami on the Oregon coast. The goal of this group will be to look at current processes and produce recommendations for state agencies and local communities to better react to a distant tsunami warning, watch or advisory.  A further goal of this working group will be to provide an avenue for capturing lessons learned from both damaging and non-damaging distant tsunami events.
