Are You Prepared???

Published by Administrator at 5:14 pm under Liveaboard Topics

Last weekend’s volcano explosion in Tonga 5700 miles away and our subsequent tsunami alert here is a reminder to us boaters of our exposure to a potential tsunami event in Puget Sound. The Tonga tsunami affected Santa Cruz harbor and forced the evacuation of 115 liveaboards at the Berkely Marina. This was a 6–8-hour window to evacuate. What if it was closer? See the WA State DNR simulation…

Do you have a plan in place? If you have time, deep water is your best bet. Otherwise evacuate to higher ground and take what you can-the marina and/or your boat could be heavily damaged.

See more information on emergency preparedness on our Shilshole Prepares page.
