Manson CJ and Walkling L. 1998. Tsunamis on the Pacific Coast of Washington State and adjacent areas--a selected, annotated bibliography and directory. Open file Report 98-4. Washington State Department of Natural Resources. Olympia, WA
From the Introduction: "This report intends to help local planners and emergency managers understand the earthquake and tsnumai risks on the Pacific coast and mitigate their effects. The Pacific coast of Washington is at risk from tsnumis. These destructive waves can be caused by coastal or submarine landslides or volcanism, but they are most commonly caused by large submarine earthquakes. ... In order to plan for hazards, citizens need to know what to expect. In the last few years, there have been significant advances in understanding the earthquakes that have occurred on the Cascadia subduction zone and the tsunamis that have struck the Pacific Coast. This information is the foundation for planning efforts."
