Lincoln City Oregon is the largest city on the Oregon coast and a major tourism destination sitting on Siletz Bay with significant tsunami risk from a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. The city's seasonal population swells dramatically during summer tourism, creating mass casualty planning challenges. US-18 connects Lincoln City to the Willamette Valley through the Coast Range — this road could be damaged in a major earthquake. Oregon emergency management has specifically identified the coastal communities as highly vulnerable in a Cascadia event.
