Abstract:
This shapefile represents the Large (L1) tsunami inundation scenario for the Oregon coast. See the accompanying text report for more information.
Purpose:
The intent of this digital data release is to provide seamless, statewide tsunami inundation scenarios in the form of ArcGIS shapefiles for seven scenarios selected for depiction on published Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) tsunami inundation maps (TIM’s). These scenarios include five from local Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) earthquakes (SM1, M1, L1, XL1, and XXL1), and two maximum-considered distant tsunamis from subduction zone earthquakes in the Gulf of Alaska: a historical maximum that occurred in 1964 (AK64) and a hypothetical maximum (AKMax) with higher uplift and more efficient focusing of tsunami energy at the Oregon coast than in 1964.
Also included in this publication are supplemental files that support the tsunami model data publications, tsunami evacuation brochures, education and outreach initiatives, and other tsunami related publications (ex. TIM's).
