    It was a good practice, once you do an After Action Report for this tsunami, you can improve on the citizenry level.
    You hadnt defined "High Ground" people need to always know where they "High Ground", is at, depending on their location.
    High ground is dependent on your location, so if you are in a 5 story building, 2 miles from the coast, no need to leave.
    Maybe the word ground is throwing people off.
    Go back to the emergency plans and teach the community how to know where the highest points in their communities are at.

      Right ! They should figure out routes for us… I heard traffic was horrendous… what if a tsunami comes and we’re all in traffic! Then we’ll flood in our cars and that will be a tragedy… hopefully our smart Bay Area leaders can figure that out for us!..

    Exactly--we need to know who needs to go and where they should go to. I live in the East Bay Hills, so I was pretty sure I was out of the danger zone, but a lot of people in downtown SF, apparently, weren't sure whether they should evacuate or stay. We're not used to getting tsunami warnings--so I think there was a lot of unnecessary worry.

    I mean, how much preparation can really be done apart from warning people via automated text that a tsunami may be coming after an earthquake? We saw on live cam and the news that many people actually went TO the ocean to check it out. How are you going to ever help those people?

    • @michaelhaynes3776
      @michaelhaynes3776 4 дня назад

      @timjacob great point. People who go toward the water need to understand that they will be physically overwhelmed, they will be killed, they will die, if a tsunami arrives. PERIOD! "Higher ground" means an awareness of immediately surrounding topography. You have to use your brain and your own eyes, to know where to run, higher up! You're going to have to rapidly hike UPHILL and you might even have to climb a little or a lot! If people don't "get that," you're right, you're never going to help those people.

    that entire area has to be the most prone to tsunami if it was to hit anywhere on the west coast, they made the right call. However with that being said the infrastructure in the case of an evacuation wouldn't do much you need larger roads going inland only open only during tsunami warnings. One way straight inland. Because that entire area would be underwater with ease

    • @michaelhaynes3776
      @michaelhaynes3776 4 дня назад

      I would say no, or extremely low risk. Cupertino's elevation is high enough and its location is far enough away from the Bay that it's not likely. If in doubt during a warning, look at those hills to your west and get to them quickly....even if that means on foot. I would say, though, not to worry. If you happen to be right at the Bay or over at the Pacific Ocean, literally run for any hills or higher ground you can find!

      It's been decades since I've been to Pacifica. Tsunami warnings should alert you to start running ON FOOT, not "everyone jump in your cars and sit in gridlock and get swept away to your death." I'm assuming there are areas not too steep to climb on foot, aside from the shear cliffs, correct? I could be wrong.

    This isn't adding up. How does a 7.0 earthquake off the coast NOT trigger a tsunami? I have family that still lives in Sonoma County. Thankfully 80% of the coastline there is steep cliffs that a tsunami would have very little effect against besides erosion.

    • @johnbuckles1344
      @johnbuckles1344 4 дня назад

      Plate tectonics involves many phenomena, slip/strike (what happened), subduction (one going under another) sea floor spreading (mid-ocean rifts) orogeny (mountain formation) etc. For a real wicked tsunami you need a subduction collapse, whereby the sea floor is either heaved upwards by the underriding plate, or collapse, lowering of sea floor suddenly. Massive water displacement occurs, and kinetic energy set in motion. Off the Oregon coast the San Andreas converges with the Cascadia Subduction Zone, so while the SA is a sideways moving system, Cascadia brings subduction into the mix, so until the location of the quake is precisely determined up there, you could have or not have a tsunami. Best to take precautions, once the wave is in motion it covers distance fairly quickly. Here inside the Golden Gate, the effects would be mitigated first by the narrowness of the Gate itself, and then the Bay opens up into a vast body of water that would absorb a lot of volume without drastically raising water levels. Of course, folks in SF's Sunset District would be in great danger, maybe Sausalito and Richardson Bay could face problems, but again, most vulnerable are immediate coastal areas. Stinson Beach, Halfmoon Bay and so on.

      Was in Alameda when this happened. The near gridlock was a bad sign. Limited escape options. However, the prospect of Alameda being inundated with 10 feet of water is very, very remote. Bay topography mitigates volume of ingress through the Gate by spreading it over a vast inland body. Hard to picture a Fukushima type event there. I wasn't impressed with how people reacted, panic and irrational behaviour. Media outlets have a tough time balancing fact with drama, drama gets viewers and ratings.
