This grant from the USGS aims to fund research on enhancing methods for modeling car-based and pedestrian evacuations in the event of sudden-onset hazards like tsunamis, focusing on at-risk populations along the California coast. The research collaboration between various entities seeks to address evacuation challenges in vulnerable coastal communities, like the island and peninsula areas in the City of Newport Beach. The outcomes of this research will support more effective local, State, and Federal tsunami preparedness and response strategies by providing crucial insights into tsunami risk scenarios. Closing date for applications is August 16, 2013.

| Agency Name:: | Geological Survey |
| Description:: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity for research contributing to improved methods for modeling car-based and pedestrian evacuations for sudden-onset hazards, such as tsunamis. Research is needed that focuses on characterizing evacuation potential for at-risk populations associated with tsunami hazard scenarios on the California coast. This research would further existing collaborations between the U.S. Geological Survey, California Geological Survey, and California Emergency Management to improve knowledge of tsunami risk issues. This information would be an essential component of supporting effective local, State, and Federal tsunami preparedness and response strategies. Research is specifically needed for coastal communities with limited egress options, such as the island and peninsula communities in the City of Newport Beach (e.g., Balboa Island and Lido Isle). |
