From these models the WGS produces tsunami inundation maps to communicate the hazard identified in these models to emergency management, planners, and the public to prepare for the next event in Washington. The WGS works with the Washington Emergency Management Division and local, county, tribal, and other planners and emergency managers to develop, publish, and distribute pedestrian evacuation maps, and evacuation brochures.

The Hazard Map Publications dataset provides the boundaries of the modeled hazard study areas with links to download tsunami hazard map publications and associated data for inundation and current speed.
