This work has helped to develop criteria for tsunami sources that will be useful in future inundation mapping efforts. But some issues require additional investigation, and these are outlined below. Most model runs are complete, and the map drawing is in progress. Highlands near the open coast appear to be dry for all scenarios except for the case of a Cascadia earthquake with an additional asperity. The evacuation at Seaside is so difficult that any high ground near the open coast is critical, so we want to make sure that the DEM is correct there.
Local officials are therefore field checking the highlands in question.
There will be no separate report for Seaside. The method will be explained in the Newport report. The regional grid is complete, and the local refined grid will be constructed as soon as a DEM is available. Local officials have been briefed on the project by George Priest. The photogrammetry contractor has also met with local interest groups to see if any additional map products could be developed for local needs.
