Vertical evacuationstructures provide a means to create areas of refuge for communities in whichevacuation out of the inundation zone is not feasible. This guidance documentincludes the following information to assist in the planning and design oftsunami vertical evacuation structures: general information on the tsunamihazard and its history; guidance on determining the tsunami hazard, includingtsunami depth and velocity; different options for tsunami vertical evacuationstructures; guidance on siting, spacing, sizing, and elevation considerations;determining tsunami and earthquake loads and related structural designcriteria; and structural design concepts and other considerations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote: FEMA documents areavailable online free of charge, and in hard copy by contacting FEMA (phone:1-800-480-2520).
