Abstract

Due to a procedural error in construction of Figs. 8 and 9, listed minimum speeds to beat the tsunami wave in areas of Seaside seaward of Neawanna Creek are too high. The two figures should be replaced by the new figures below. Also note that e-mail addresses for George Priest, Laura Stimely (now Laura Gabel), Ian Madin, and Rudie Watzig are updated in this erratum.

None of the conclusions of the paper are modified, but the two following sentences in the Discussion should be slightly modified.

Original sentences:

If only seismically retrofitted bridges are intact, only adults with no mobility impairment would be able to evacuate seaward of the Necanicum River or the mouth of Neawanna Creek (Fig. 8). Any evacuation delay beyond that caused by the 3-5 min of seismic shaking expected for CSZ earthquake would require fast walk to running speeds to evacuate these same areas (Fig. 9).

Revised sentences:
If only seismically retrofitted bridges are intact, only adults with no mobility impairment would be able to evacuate many areas seaward of the Necanicum River or the mouth of Neawanna Creek (Fig. 8). Any evacuation delay beyond that caused by the 3-5 min of seismic shaking expected for CSZ earthquake greatly shrinks the area that could be evacuated by the mobility impaired (Fig. 9).
