Santa Monica California sits on the Pacific Coast adjacent to the Santa Monica Bay and hosts major tech and entertainment industry headquarters including Snap Inc. and numerous production companies. The Santa Monica Fault runs directly through the city — one of the most dangerous urban fault systems in Southern California. The city faces tsunami inundation risk from Pacific seismic events. Santa Monica Airport hosted Cold War-era defense contractor operations and the city's pier and beachfront attract tens of millions of visitors annually creating mass casualty event risk.
