General Tsunami Information Oregon statewide / Curry County / Coos County / Douglas County / Lincoln County / Tillamook County  Washington Activities - The State of Washington's State-Local Tsunami Workgroup engaged in a table top exercise using the PACIFEX 12 scenario developed by the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center. This scenario simulates a magnitude 9.2 earthquake that occurs approximately 70 miles east of Kodiak City, Alaska. The earthquake triggers a major tsunami that will begin impacting the shoreline of Washington State within 3 hours. The purpose of the exercise is to test federal, state, and local response and evacuation capabilities, short-and long-term sheltering protocols, and issuance of 'all clear' messages to widely dispersed populations. The scenario is available at: http://wcatwc.arh.noaa.gov/exercise/
