Here's your local news at a glance for Saturday, the 22nd of November.
Good morning, Vancouver.
🏛️ Government
Real-time tsunami alerts for Oregon and Washington coasts will be delayed next month due to funding cuts by the Alaska Earthquake Center (cut by $300,000), which may delay earthquake notifications.
Coastal emergency managers (including Clatsop County officials) say the change may hinder safe evacuation decisions during potential events.
🏥 Health
On Friday, the Washington Department of Health stated that vaccines are safe and that decades of research shows no credible link to autism—urging Washingtonians to follow recommended vaccine schedules.
The statement comes as a CDC webpage update raised concerns among health advocates over claims questioning vaccine safety.
