2 Jack Ohman, 1991, The Oregonian New research by Chris Goldfinger places the probability of the next Cascadia earthquake at about 80% by 2059 January 27, 2010Oregon FY08-09 Accomplishments

3 State of Oregon FY08 NTHMP Grant Overview Total award: $253,910 FY08 Objectives 1.Initiate tsunami hazard assessment in Bandon, Oregon. 2.Promote tsunami risk mitigation and preparedness. 3.Support NWS TsunamiReady program. January 27, 2010Oregon FY08-09 Accomplishments

4 FY08 Objective 1: Bandon Tsunami Hazard Assessment Tasks Accomplished (1a) Cascadia earthquake source model completed. (1b) Tsunami deposits data compiled for Bandon area. (1c) Unstructured computational grid generated; Over 50 test simulations completed at Bradley Lake; Final inundation runs (30) planned for March 2010. (1d) Project management ongoing; Contributed to NTHMP partnership; Cochair, NTHMP Mapping & Modeling Subcommittee; Preparation of GIS database and final report, spring- summer 2010. January 27, 2010Oregon FY08-09 Accomplishments

5 FY08 Objective 1: Bandon Tsunami Hazard Assessment Issues –Scheduling conflicts among science team delayed development of earthquake source model. –Incorporating new lidar data into computational grid proved more time consuming than expected. Fixes –No cost one-year extension granted. January 27, 2010Oregon FY08-09 Accomplishments

6 FY08 Objective 2: Promote Tsunami Preparedness Tasks Accomplished (2a) Attended over 15 outreach and education events; Informed ODOT on earthquake and tsunami hazards.

January 27, 2010Oregon FY08-09 Accomplishments

7 FY08 Objective 2: Promote Tsunami Preparedness Issues –NTHMP Subcommittee co-chairs requested clarification on subtasks 2b – 2e. –All subtasks were not explicitly described in FY08 proposal, which led to confusion. –Subtasks 2b – 2e contribute to overall outcomes targeted by Objective 2 and support task 2a. –Worked with Oregon Tsunami Advisory Council to develop FY09-012 Oregon Tsunami Outreach Program. January 27, 2010Oregon FY08-09 Accomplishments

8 FY08 Objective 3: TsunamiReady Support Tasks Accomplished (3a) Design for Lincoln City blue-lens strobe warning signals complete; installation planned for Jan. 2010; Lincoln City renewed TsunamiReady designation.
