The #tsunami vertical evacuation building at OSU Hatfield, Newport, #Oregon. It's designed for the walls to blow out but the structure remains standing. There's space and a supply cache on the roof to support 290 people for two days.

( @peterdrake , this is relevant to your interests.)
A view from the roof of the building shows a large parking area filled with RVs and recreational vehicles, bordered by rows of trees and green grass, with a steel arch bridge crossing the water in the background. The coastal scene shows residential buildings on distant hillsides under a blue sky with scattered white clouds.

A long concrete ramp curves upward along a grassy slope, leading all the way to the roof of a modern multi-story building with gray siding and large windows, designed for tsunami evacuation. An informational sign reading "The Oregon Coast is at Work" on a wooden stand sits beside the path, with a parking regulations sign visible mid-slope, all under a blue sky with scattered clouds.
