https://www.conservation.ca.gov/cgs/tsunami/maps is getting a hug of death :(

If anyone gets on, please post a screenshot.

The USA also has a site that seems to be up at the moment. Without seeing the CA version I'm not sure how it differs, but I suspect it's possible for Canadians to get some useful local information from it: https://www.tsunami.gov/

Anything that ends in .gov is related to a government entity in the US. Other countries don’t get access to that TLD.

I'm not sure if understood correctly, but https://www.tsunami.gov/ works without any problems even from Europe, Poland.

The US government controls who gets .gov domain names, but the websites are available to anyone.

ah, you're right. I knew that, think I must've looked at it too fast and assumed it was .gov.ca. (which isn't even the TLD that the Canadian government uses, but never mind...)

ca.gov is California, not Canada.

But our funny-accented cousins can access useful information on the .gov as well (the entire west coast of Canada is under tsunami watch at the moment).

Yeah but for how much longer? It’s a fire sale on anything intellectual down there.

I can't wait for Wexit to secede/succeed so we can welcome our beloved new territories with open arms.

This also happened during the tsunami last year.

Does anyone know of a map app that works offline and can save overlays like this?

No, but an archive.org for US govt webpages like tsunami.gov (including dynamic content) seems like something that is currently needed.
