A2 THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, MAY 2, 2019 Design work starts for Shoalwater tsunami evacuation tower Structure will hold up to 486 people “We wouldn’t have got- ten the (grant) application done without their exper- tise,” said Shipman. “We are all passionate; we’re kind of like a tsunami evacuation tower gang.” Nelson and Crawford were instrumental in form- ing the tribe’s emergency management plans. There are two tsunami warn- ing sirens on the reserva- tion; the one on the north end is named “George,” after Crawford; the one at the south end — off Black- berry Lane, next to where the evacuation tower will stand — is named “Dave,” after Nelson. The grant is a $2.2 mil- lion Federal Emergency By DAN HAMMOCK Grays Harbor News Group TOKELAND, Wash. — With a lot of hard work by the Shoalwater Bay Tribe, a tsunami evacuation tower near Tokeland should be ready for the B ig O ne by the end of October 2020. Shoalwater Bay emer- gency management direc- tor Lee Shipman said none of it would have been possi- ble without a core group of driven individuals, partic- ularly previous emergency managers like Dave Nelson and George Crawford.

The results of their tests were passed on to the tribe and engineers to incorporate into the tower’s design. The Shoalwater Bay Tribe has signed contracts for design and engineering for the tower, said Shipman. The design work is being done by Degenkolb Engineering . The latest renderings of the tower and its location were just completed by the s tate Department of Transporta- tion’s Visual Engineering Resource Group.

When it’s done, the tower will stand some 50 feet tall or more and hold 486 peo- ple. I t will be one of two tsu- nami evacuation structures in the nation, the other atop the gym at the Ocosta Ele- mentary School about 10 miles north. The Shoalwater Bay tribe has 70 offi cial members, said Shipman, with a total reser- vation population of around 120. That leaves room in the tower for tribal neighbors and, as is customary for the tribe, nobody will be turned away in a tsunami.
