City of Eureka Hosting Tsunami Preparedness Workshop for Businesses in the Tsunami Zone

This is a press release from the City of Eureka’s Economic Development Division:

The City of Eureka is inviting businesses located within the tsunami zone to participate in a Tsunami Preparedness Workshop on Monday, April 20, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Eureka Wharfinger Building (1 Marina Way).

This appointment-only workshop is designed for businesses operating in at-risk areas. Each participant will meet one-on-one with an expert to develop a customized tsunami preparedness plan tailored to their location and operations.

Eureka’s coastal location makes it vulnerable to locally generated tsunamis, which can arrive within minutes after a major earthquake. Businesses in the tsunami zone play a critical role in protecting employees, customers, and the broader community. Local experts from Humboldt Bay Fire, Eureka Police Department, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) will be just a few of the participating experts.

Participants will leave with a clear, step-by-step plan, materials to share with employees, and the option to register their plan with the City to support coordinated response during an emergency.

Participation is by appointment only. To reserve and coordinate a time slot, please email [email protected].

This will be the first in a series of workshops, with additional opportunities offered in the future.
