Just in time for Xmas! New maps to show us how to get the heck to high ground when the big one rocks and swooshes!
To check out these new coastal inundation maps — mostly mapped by Professor Aggeliki Barberopoulou and courtesy the state and the USC Tsunami Research Center — and see who’d get inundated during the worst-case run-ups, go here.
And for the behind-the-scenes run down on this statewide coastline hedge-o-protection project, go the USC Viterbi School of Engineering website.
This article appears in The Plane That Wasn’t There.

Something like this should be put into an application such as Google Maps. The resolution is horrible.
AJ they are fuzzy logic maps and need ARCVIEW spatial analyst. Nice observation
Ahh, then, yes, if public safety is a goal, the data should be presented in a format that requires no extra effort to view.
It’s odd that the page doesn’t mention ArcView; I only see PDF links.
AJ exactamento. Das stimmmt. Sie haben rechts. (german)
Public safety protection from natural and androdgenous hazards is a requirement for geologic professional ethics as per a geologists license in ANY state.
It is not that odd however b’cause those who generated the maps do not know how to use arcview!!
Welcome to the world and the curtain of incompetent science and a state that thinks it is progressive but is actually SLYLY regressive.
Happy holidays hannukah aasaaluum wailikuum PEACE and once again good observation kiddo.
Hank.
Hammer! Diese Story hatte ich absolut nicht geglaubt 😉
