Members of the group were asked to contact state congressional representatives and urge their support for the initiative. Lori will distribute the draft copy of the State of Hawaii's letter of support. California is planning a workshop of coastal emergency managers to assess the State's tsunami mitigation priorities. Comments on the brochure included the importance of leaving space for local jurisdictions to stamp information and disappointment that the tsunami sign logo approved by the Federal State Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Steering Group had not been included. Group members are asked to compile a list of their mitigation needs before the next meeting.
Progress reports on pilot signage projects.
The Redwood National Park sign plan for posting tsunami hazard signs in the park is nearly complete. The park will be producing its own signs using the Oregon tsunami hazard design. A map now need to be developed for the placement of signs. Not clear at present whether signs will only be posted on trails or on roads as well. Interpretive signs are a different issue.
