Long Beach sits near multiple active fault systems and faces serious earthquake and tsunami risk. The 1933 Long Beach earthquake killed 120 people and caused massive damage across the city. The Port of Long Beach is the second busiest container port in the United States — a major earthquake could disrupt national supply chains for months. The city's coastal location creates tsunami exposure from Pacific subduction zone earthquakes.
