Description

A sign warning drivers that they are entering a tsunami hazard zone is displayed along U.S. Route 101 north of Lincoln City. The Oregon Coast was under a tsunami warning last week.

Oregon state Rep. Paul Evans, D-Monmouth, has been introducing legislation to modernize the state’s emergency preparedness and response processes for years. He called the state’s tsunami warnings last week to residents on the Oregon Coast — raised due to strong currents and unpredictable waves as a result of a massive earthquake off the coast of Russia — “a good warmup.” No one was injured, and the Oregon Department of Emergency Management called the warning off within 24 hours.
