Plan 1
Map the route from where you will actually be
Start at the lodging, beach access, school, workplace, or property—not the town center. Identify the nearest mapped assembly area or high-ground route and save a copy offline.
Maps, evacuation routes, and coastal property
Tsunami-ready coast planning
Coastal trips and property questions should include tsunami maps, evacuation routes, DOGAMI tools, and local emergency information.
Useful starting point
Put the exact coast address or access point on an evacuation map now.
Know the inland or high-ground route before a stay, visit, or property decision. If you feel strong or long shaking, or see a sudden ocean rise or drawdown, move inland and uphill after the shaking; do not wait for an alert.
Plan before leaving
Set up the parts that should not wait until the trailhead.
Plan 2
Walk the route in advance
Notice bridges, stairs, steep grades, locked gates, and places where a vehicle queue could block travel. Plan to evacuate on foot after strong shaking when it is safe to move.
Plan 3
Keep alerts and natural warnings separate
Sign up for the county's alerts, but do not make an alert the trigger after strong or long shaking or obvious ocean warning signs. Natural warnings mean move.
Check today
Reopen the live parts before you commit to the trip.
A reservation, saved map, or earlier forecast does not establish today's access or conditions.
Today 1
Confirm the route is still usable
Check local notices for construction, a closed bridge, changed access, or another obstruction on the planned evacuation route. Choose an alternate before settling in.
Today 2
Show everyone the first turn
Make sure children, guests, and travel companions know the direction to go without waiting to find a phone, vehicle, or group leader.
Today 3
Keep shoes and a small go kit reachable
Place footwear, necessary medication, light, and basic supplies where they can be taken quickly after shaking without delaying the move inland and uphill.
