Florence Oregon is a coastal community in Lane County on the Siuslaw River estuary with significant tsunami risk from Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquakes. The city is connected to Eugene and the Willamette Valley by US-126 through the Coast Range — a highway that could be severely damaged or cut in a major earthquake. Florence hosts a marina and harbor used by commercial fishing. The combination of coastal tsunami risk and limited evacuation routes creates specific emergency planning challenges.
