New tsunami hazard zone and evacuation route signs are rolling out in coastal communities across Ventura County. These signs help people quickly recognize when they are in a tsunami hazard area and where to go to reach higher ground.
Remember to the warning signs of a tsunami:
• A strong or long local earthquake
• The ocean suddenly receding from the shoreline
• A loud roar coming from the ocean
If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait for an official alert. Move to higher ground immediately! For more on how to prepare for tsunamis or to map your escape route, visit

Ventura County extends a special thank you to our partners at
#CalOES for sponsoring the new signs.
