Tsunami Hazard Assessment of Whatcom County, Washington. Project Report - Version 2

Abstract

This report documents the results of a study supported by the Washington State Emergency Management Division of the tsunami hazard along the coast of Whatcom County. One earthquake source from the Seattle Fault and one from the Cascadia Subduction Zone were considered. Results include inundation depths and times of arrival that will be useful to coastal communities, as well as tsunami current speeds and momentum flux. GeoClaw Version 5.5.0 was used for the modeling, with some modifications as described in the appendices.
