Tsunami Preparedness

Safety Drills

Each year, we host drills to all three South Beach evacuation assembly areas:

• Fall to Safe Haven Hill
• Spring to Oregon Coast Community College
• Summer to the Gladys Valley Marine Studies Building rooftop

These walks are a ideal time to evaluate how long it takes you to get out of your building, confirm the route to one of areas' evacuation sites, and reassess your personal evacuation plans.

Plan for about 45 min for participation. Everyone at Hatfield and the South Beach community is encouraged to join us.

Drill Details:

• For those at Hatfield, at 11 a.m., you will be alerted to the start of the walk via Hatfield Alert text/email message (fire alarms will not sound for this event). If you don’t receive a start message, don’t wait, start the earthquake and evacuation drill at 11 a.m.
• Duck | Cover | Hold and then when it is safe - GO!
• Follow the tsunami drill signs up to designated drill area.

Everyone in the South Beach area is welcome to join us. 

• Agency, local businesses, and nonprofit personnel are encouraged to participate, but please look for specific information from your leadership. 

If you are new to our seismic risk here on the coast, please talk with your supervisor or Cinamon Moffett for more information.  Our goal is for you to feel informed and ready, so please don’t hesitate to ask questions.
