Description: Includes danger zone polygons generated using the tsunami inundation modelling results of the Capital Region Coastal Flood Inundation Mapping Study (Associated Engineering, 2020, prepared for the Capital Regional District). Danger zones have been generated as the inverse of the safe zone polygon, i.e., the area between the coastline and the safe zone. Note that this is not the same as the modelled inundation area due to the simplification and smoothing processes applied to create the safe zones.Refer to Development of Public Education Tsunami Safety Zones, GIS Data Processing of Safe Zones Technical Memorandum (Associated Engineering, March 2021). Prepared for the City of Victoria.

It is based on the maximum water elevation plus earthquake induced subsidence from mean sea level from the 2020 Capital Region Coastal Flood Inundation Mapping project. Modeling of Potential Tsunami Inundation limits and Run-up for the Coastline of the Capital Regional District was completed by Associated Engineering. The best available data suggests that in most areas of Saanich, 4 metres or 13 feet above high tide is a safe elevation.</span></font></div></div></div></div>
