Wednesday March 25, at 11 am  will be a North Coast Tsunami Drill  across Humboldt, Del Norte, and Mendocino counties.  The goal of this drill is to provide an opportunity for individuals, businesses, and organizations to practice earthquake and tsunami preparedness for a locally felt earthquake and tsunami.  If you are in a tsunami zone, practice your evacuation plan by walking to higher ground or outside the tsunami hazard area. If you are not in a tsunami zone, stay where you are, evacuation is not necessary. Instead, use this time to consider how you would respond after an earthquake resulting in major damage. Emergency preparedness saves lives. Be tsunami ready by planning, practicing and staying informed.
