The range of minimum speeds (in feet per second, fps) needed to reach safety from each point in the evacuation zone. Evacuation speeds are collected into seven bins for easier interpretation on a map. They capture the natural boundaries between pedestrian speeds based on model of locomotion and the speed group most applicable to each bin: slow walking at 0-2 fps, walking at 2-4 fps (considered a maximum walking speed for elderly and impaired adults), and fast walking at 4-6 fps (considered a maximum walking speed for unimpaired adults). Additional categories describe areas where walking is not sufficient: jogging at 6-8 fps for fit adults, running at 8-10 fps, sprinting at 10-15 fps (10 mph), and unlikely to survive at greater than 15 fps (10 mph).

This line feature class shows minimum evacuation speeds, in feet per second, needed to stay ahead of the wave assuming all non-retrofitted bridges within the inundation zone fail due to earthquake shaking. This feature class contains data on trails and beach networks. A separate feature class contains data for paved roads.
We evaluated pedestrian evacuation in Gold Beach and nearby unincorporated communities of Curry County, Oregon in the event of a local tsunami generated by an earthquake on the Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ). This line feature class shows minimum evacuation speeds, in feet per second, needed to stay ahead of the wave assuming all non-retrofitted bridges within the inundation zone fail due to earthquake shaking. This feature class contains data on trails and beach networks. A separate feature class contains data for paved roads. This layer was created based on the Extra-extra-large1 (XXL1) tsunami scenario, which is a Local Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) tsunami scenario generated by a magnitude 9.1 earthquake. The XXL1 event has an estimated recurrence rate of at least 10,000 years. See the text from this Open-file Report O-21-03 for technical information on mapping methods and a discussion of results and interpretation.
The purpose of this data is to provide local government with a quantitative assessment of pedestrian evacuation in order to evaluate mitigation options such as evacuation route improvements, better wayfinding, land use planning actions, and potential vertical evacuation options.

This project was funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program under award No. NA19NWS4670013.
All feature class attributes were checked using automated python review tools designed specifically for tsunami evacuation data. Attributes were also reviewed visually in ArcGIS.
This layer was visually reviewed in ArcGIS. The following topology checks were performed and any errors were resolved: Must Be Single Part, Must Not Intersect, Must Not Self Intersect and Must Not Self-Overlap.
This dataset is complete for Gold Beach and nearby unincorporated communities of Curry County, Oregon. This is defined as the area from Ophir in the north down to and including Hunter Creek in the south. To the east it extends up the Rogue River as far as the Canfield Riffle.
Horizontal positional accuracy is very good because most roads and trails have 1) either been digitized based on lidar or 2) have been checked for accuracy against lidar. Tsunami simulations use unstructured computational grids constructed from detailed bathymetric and topographic data, particularly lidar. Spacing between computational grid points, a measure of the precision of this data, is generally less than 10 m in populated areas and at critical shoreline features such as jetties.
This is Not Applicable.
The path distance tool uses geospatial algorithms to calculate the most efficient route from each point in the evacuation zone to safety. Inputs include sub-sampled lidar and a road and trail network. Additional ArcGIS tools used to convert path distance results into this feature class include several from the Hydrology Toolbox and the backlink raster. This layer was generated using Esri ArcGIS 10.7 and Esri ArcPro 2.7 software.
