Part of Seaside is located in a tsunami inundation zone. Among other preparation, the City of Seaside has embarked on a program in which residents above the zone are asked to volunteer to store within their homes barrels of medical supplies, water purification systems, emergency rations, tarps, and radios, with each barrel having enough supplies to last 20 individuals for at least 3 days. As of January 2017, there are 119 barrels within volunteer households and a waiting list of interested households.<ref>[http://www.cityofseaside.us/Emergency%20Preparedness/Tsunami%20Barrel%20Program Tsunami Supply Barrel Program], City of Seaside.</ref>

Seismologists estimate that there is a one in three chance that Seaside will be hit by an earthquake and tsunami within the next fifty years.<ref name=New-Yorker-Kathryn-Schulz-November-4-2016>[http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/the-really-small-ones The Really Small Ones], ''New Yorker'', Kathryn Schulz, Nov. 4, 2016.</ref>  On Tues.
