Emergency personnel from various agencies assessed the area and found that numerous docks and boats were damaged because of the extreme tidal surges.  The surge activity lasted several hours, and emergency personnel rescued numerous boats and docks that had broken loose during this incident.

    At the time of this media release, no injuries to emergency personnel have been reported. The Ventura City Fire Department would like to remind the public to review the Ventura City Tsunami evacuation plan and be familiar with evacuation routes.
