Tillamook Oregon is famous for its dairy industry and cheese production but sits in Tillamook County on the Oregon coast with extreme tsunami risk from Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquakes. The city is surrounded by mountains and coastal rivers that create compound flooding and landslide risk during heavy rain events. US-101 along the coast and US-6 through the Coast Range are the primary access routes and could be severely damaged in a major earthquake or atmospheric river event.
