I live just a hair West of the green line, about a mile in from

The Strait of Juan de F.

I don't know about you, but

It gives me pause.

Not that I'm going to move.

If none of the buildings appear safe to occupy move the '55 Fairlane out of the insulated 20' cargo container it lives in so we can live in there instead.

The inhumanity....

Well, you all have a plan of sorts, that is a start. First defense if there is the big wave on it's way, there will be a warning, and time to head as far as possible UP. Timeline will vary depending where the action occurs and has three different levels of alert. Self prepareiness with food, water and a game plan is a must. Other than a dense populated area, the worry of gangs etc. they will have as difficult time traveling to you, as you will have traveling out of your presently secure area. Prepare for essential needs if once of low areas, and travel needs including prepared food, shelter, and first aid things is good to have even with out emergecies.
Each county HAS an emergency plan with an an emergecy co-ordinator, who has communications with their State Guard, State Guard has communication with the National and Fema. It may be awhile before help arrives, so you are on your own with local assets, and personal preparations.
The bigger the event, the longer the wait for outside help. Shelter, food and water, and those items needed to get by without outside sources are a must.

Is Waldport still sinking?

It may be!!!! Contact your County Emergency Services and ask what areas are at at sea level to above 100 ft. I think the new level may be a safety zone at the 200 foot now. All along Hwy 101, between the Kalifornia state line and Astoria, there are little informational signs that state you are in the BIGWAVE zone. I believe there a a little picture depicting a BIG Wave. My ocean view is at 800 foot, with no major rivers within 10 miles! May have Ocean front property after one. Who knows?
