This map is to help you protect yourself from the biggest tsunami likely to hit our area. Evacuation maps are for emergency planning and response and are not intended for any other purposes. They are based on the best currently available data and are subject to change and updates.

ORANGE ZONES ARE BASED ON THE OFFICIAL STATE TSUNAMI HAZARD MAPS FOR EVACUATION PLANNING. PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF THE ORANGE ZONE DO NOT NEED TO EVACUATE. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION AND DETAILED MAPS, VISIT WWW.TSUNAMI.CA.GOV.

Familiarize yourself with evacuation map routes, landmarks, and flood areas. Plan secondary routes as backup.

What you should do during a tsunami emergency.

Move to high ground. Avoid downed power lines and weakened overpasses. The Tsunami Map will show you what areas are safe and what areas may be at risk. Use this information to guide you to a safe area. Stay there. Remain on high ground. Waves from a tsunami may arrive for eight hours or longer. Return to the coast only when officials have announced that it is safe to do so.

Take your 5-day emergency kit that you have already assembled when you evacuate. Keep the items that you would most likely need for evacuation in a backpack, duffel bag or a wheeled cooler in an easily accessible location.

More information on building a kit is available on the city’s website: www.longbeach.gov/disasterpreparedness/

Protect yourself during the earthquake. If indoors, DROP under a sturdy table or object, COVER your head and neck, and HOLD ON. If outdoors, move to a clear area if you can safely do so—away from trees, beach cliffs, signs, and other hazards—and DROP to the ground. If you have mobility impairments that prevent you from getting up on your own, do not drop to the ground but do cover your head and neck and hold on.
