Long Beach tsunami planning starts with knowing the zone
Long Beach encourages residents and workers to check whether a home, job, school, or regular stop is in a tsunami hazard area and to know the route out.
Long Beach has everyday beach life, port work, marinas, canals, and low coastal areas, so tsunami planning is worth a quick look. It does not mean every Long Beach address has the same risk.
Check the places where you spend time. A home, school, workplace, boat slip, beach route, or regular family stop may sit inside or outside the hazard area. Long Beach’s tsunami preparedness materials send people to Cal OES MyHazards to check zones and plan a route.
Keep it calm and practical. Know whether the address is in the zone, know which direction gets you out of it, and sign up for local alerts. If an official warning ever comes, follow the official instructions for the area you are actually in. A printed or saved route can help when cell service is busy.
