Tsunami Preparedness in Coastal Communities
The National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Cascadia Coastline and Peoples Hazards Research Hub, or Cascadia CoPes Hub (CoPes), is a team of researchers funded by the National Science Foundation to increase knowledge about natural hazards and climate change risks coastal communities face and ways to increase their resilience. The Hub is working with communities in the Pacific Northwest, including Washington, Oregon, and Northern California to increase their ability to mitigate and adapt to impacts from hazards like “The Really Big One”- a mega-earthquake, tsunamis, sea level rise, landslides, erosion, and climate change.
In this video, Clatsop County Emergency Manager Tiffany Brown talks about the importance of preparedness and providing local communities with additional resources.
