	note = {{\textquotedblleft}We present an analytical framework for understanding community-level vulnerability to tsunamis that integrates population exposure, demographic sensitivity, and evacuation potential. We identify three types of communities along the US Pacific Northwest coast that are directly threatened by tsunamis associated with a Cascadia subduction zone earthquake: (i) demographically diverse with low numbers of exposed people, (ii) high numbers of exposed populations but sufficient time to evacuate, and (iii) moderate numbers of exposed populations but insufficient time to evacuate.{\textquotedblleft} (p.5354) The authors identified Seaside as the most vulnerable community on the Oregon Coast.

	journal = {Natural Hazards},
	volume = {72},
	year = {2014},
	note = {All who live on the West Coast of the United States should be aware of the possibility of a major  earthquake occurring.  But what if only a part of the subduction zone ruptures?  This article examines a possible rupture in the southern half of the Cascadia Subduction Zone (south of Alsea Bay, Oregon).  The authors ask important questions. How quickly does tsunami wave height decline north of the southern rupture areas?  How much time do communities north of the southern rupture areas have to evacuate before the first inundation and the largest inundation occur? How far north of the southern rupture areas will felt shaking likely trigger evacuation of a populace trained to evacuate for a local earthquake? (p.851) The authors address these questions using a 10,000-year record of offshore turbedite deposits and  a ~4,600-year record of tsunami deposits at Bradley Lake.},
