March 23-29 is Tsunami Awareness Week. Next Wednesday, San Diego County officials join San Diego City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner and representatives from the California Geological Survey to announce a new mailer with local maps and evacuation routes that every San Diego County home or residence in a tsunami flood zone will receive this week. The event will also highlight what residents should know about San Diego’s tsunami risk. To demonstrate the short move to higher ground that can keep people safe in a tsunami, our 8^th graders and representatives from the region’s coastal cities will take part in a tsunami evacuation drill, walking quickly from La Jolla Shores to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The event last from roughly from 10- 11:30 so we are looking for parent volunteers who can drive students there at 9:30 and then back to school at 11:30. There is a chance that local media will be involved and thus the possibility that our students may appear on local news.
