Cannon Beach Oregon is a picturesque coastal community famous for Haystack Rock that faces extreme tsunami vulnerability from a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. The community sits at very low elevation directly on the Pacific with limited escape routes to high ground. Oregon emergency management has identified Cannon Beach as among the most at-risk coastal communities. The significant tourist population in summer creates additional mass casualty planning challenges.
