Beach Debris Frequently Asked Questions -

Live at the coast? Just visiting? You can help keep the beach clean by removing human-made debris that washes up. Everyone is talking about debris from the tsunami that struck Japan in 2011, and we will see some of those objects here (derelict dock info), but the truth is debris lands on our shores all year long. No matter where it came from, you have a chance to protect Oregon's beaches.

What can you do to help? Depends on what you find:

About Tsunami Hazards

Tsunamis rank as one of the most dangerous natural disasters that could affect the Oregon coast. Although not frequent in occurrence, the damage caused by these catastrophic events is immediate and life threatening. The most destructive type of tsunami would be generated locally by a Cascadia subduction zone earthquake of magnitude of 8.0 to 9.0, or greater. Devastating tsunamis waves would be expected to arrive along the Pacific Northwest coast including Oregon within 5 to 30 minutes after such an event, providing very little evacuation time.

---------------------------
On a national level, NOAA has created a Pacific Ocean-based tsunami monitoring and warning system that can pinpoint where and when a tsunami might strike the coast from distant sources. These warnings are relayed to coastal communities throughout Oregon, the West Coast, Alaska, and Hawai�i. This is all part of an international effort to reduce the loss of life and property along the coastlines of the Pacific Rim.
