TAKE OUR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEY
The third and final public open
house for the TEFIP will be held
at 5PM, Tuesday, February 1. The
public will have an opportunity to
discuss recommended evacuation
improvements, including trail
connections, assembly areas and
vertical evacuation structures.
Public participation is critical to
the success of this project and
promotion of this event is highly
encouraged. Information on the
TEFIP project and the February
1st meeting link can be found at
www.ClatsopTEFIP.org.
What is a TEFIP?
When completed, the Clatsop
County Tsunami Evacuation Facility
Improvement Plan (TEFIP) will
be a plan for improving tsunami
evacuation routes. This TEFIP will
focus on routes that serve multiple
purposes in addition to evacuation,
such as walking or cycling trails.
What will the TEFIP do?
• Prioritize solutions that benefit
the community every day, like
investing in recreational trails that
double as evacuation routes.
• Increase community resilience
and emergency preparedness in
Clatsop County.
• Facilitate easier evacuation in the
event of a major earthquake and
tsunami.
• Identify strategies to make best
use of limited public resources.
