    Addendum A: Regional tsunami hazard assessment for Hydaburg, Alaska

    Metadata Updated: July 5, 2023

    Immediately prior to publication of our regional tsunami assessment for selected communities in southeast Alaska, the community of Hydaburg requested we conduct a tsunami hazard assessment for their city. This addendum to that report contains regional tsunami hazard modeling results for Hydaburg, a native community of 398 people located on the southwest coast of Prince of Wales Island, 45 air miles northwest of Ketchikan. The complete report and digital data are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/30438.

    Access Constraints Use Constraints: This dataset includes results of numerical modeling of earthquake-generated tsunami waves for a specific community. Modeling was completed using the best information and tsunami modeling software available at the time of analysis. They are numerical solutions and, while they are believed to be accurate, their ultimate accuracy during an actual tsunami will depend on the specifics of earth deformations, on-land construction, tide level, and other parameters at the time of the tsunami. Actual areas of inundation may differ from areas shown in this dataset. Landslide tsunami sources may not be included in the modeling due to unknown potential impact of such events on a given community; please refer to accompanying report for more information on tsunami sources used for this study. The limits of inundation shown should only be used as a general guideline for emergency planning and response action in the event of a major tsunamigenic earthquake. These results are not intended for any other use, including land-use regulation or actuarial purposes.
