NotesThis report describes the methods and results of a natural hazard risk assessment performed by the Department of Geology and Mineral Industries for Tillamook, County communities. ”This report provides an evaluation of the potential impacts of a Cascadia earthquake and accompanying tsunami in coastal Tillamook County. The analyses presented here include an assessment of the numbers of people, businesses, and critical facilities located in three Cascadia tsunami inundation zones (M1, L1, and XXL1). Furthermore, our analyses evaluate local population demographics in each community in order to better understand potential evacuation challenges that could affect different population groups,as well as socioeconomic impacts associated with a Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) earthquake and resultant tsunami” (from the Executive Summary). The report includes including an appendix of 51 tabloid-page-size community-specific profiles for Manzanita, Nehalem Bay State Park, Nehalem, Wheeler, Rockaway Beach, Barview, Garibaldi, Bay City, Tillamook, Cape Meares, Oceanside, Netarts, Cape Lookout Sate Park, Sand Lake Recreation Area, Tierra Del Mar, Pacific City, and Neskowin. An accompanying spreadsheet gives data tables.
