Know if you live or work in the tsunami zone

In the most recent inundation maps created by the Alaska Earthquake Center at the University of Fairbanks, the maximum inundation in Homer could be 50 feet. It’s hard to tell where 50’ elevation is, so here are some ways you can figure it out if where you live, work, or play is in the danger zone:

Find your location on the maps below or on the interactive tsunami inundation map on the Alaska Earthquake Center’s website https://earthquake.alaska.edu/. The interactive website map includes both flow depths and inundation boundaries.

The Homer Police Department, upon request, will pay a visit and determine your property’s elevation. To set up a visit, call HPD at 907-235-3150. There are also apps that can determine your elevation.
