The California Geological Survey announced Thursday a new, interactive tsunami hazard map is online for Orange County that officials say can be helpful in planning evacuations should one of the long, high sea waves threaten local communities.
The map is an update of the previous version, which was published in 2009. In Newport Beach, the tsunami hazard zone was increased slightly in the latest map to help facilitate evacuation responses. Hazard zones include the area between the Balboa Peninsula to Pacific Coast Highway and the Newport Back Bay.
