SAFETY AT SEA? :  We recently received an inquiry about protecting your boat from the impact of a tsunami by going "to sea".  According to the experts, you are relatively safe only if you are in open waters of at least 200 fathoms (1,200 feet).  Click here to see more about tsunami safety for boaters. 
 

Point Hudson "All Hazards Alert Broadcast" (AHAB) unit, one of three AHAB tsunami "sirens" in the Port Townsend area.  The first AHAB in Washington State was installed at the Port Townsend Marina in 2003.  A unit similar to the Point Hudson siren is located on the beach near the campground at Fort Worden.  AHABs can be activated by satellite from the State Emergency Operations Center or by radio from the Jefferson County EOC.  There are currently 37 AHAB installations in Washington State.
