Know Your Tsunami Zone
BC coastal communities are divided into five tsunami notification zones. Knowing your zone will help when a Warning, Advisory or Watch is issued.
Please note: evacuation plans have been established for various areas and communities in the Comox Valley. Plans for larger areas like Courtenay, Comox and Cumberland are hazard-specific and will be made available to the public when needed. Sharing them before implementation can create issues for emergency personnel or if changes are required due to the nature of the event.
The Comox Valley is in Zone E (Green Zone)
