Long Beach, CA ~ The City of Long Beach Department of Disaster Preparedness is inviting community members to participate in Tsunami Awareness Week events and activities, taking place from Monday, March 27 to Friday, March 31, 2023. The goal of the week is to educate residents on how to prepare for a tsunami.
Mayor Rex Richardson said, "Tsunamis are among our most infrequent hazards, but because Long Beach sits on the Pacific Rim, their threat is still a real possibility. We encourage all those who live, work and recreate in Long Beach to discuss an emergency plan and prepare in the event of a tsunami."
Reginald Harrison, Director of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Communications added that tsunamis can be caused by a local or near-source earthquake, a far-source earthquake or a landslide under the sea. A near-source tsunami could provide as little as 15 minutes before it reaches Long Beach's shore while a far-source tsunami could provide up to 15 hours before it reaches the local shore. He also noted that when a tsunami is imminent, residents can generally mitigate injury by quickly moving to higher ground or inland.
