What are some NOAA services related to tsunamis?
NOAA participates in the Tsunami Warning System, operating two Tsunami Warning Centers. The Alaska/West Coast Tsunami Warning Center (ATWC) in Palmer, Alaska, serves as the regional Tsunami Warning Center for Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, serves as the regional Tsunami Warning Center for Hawaii and as a national/international warning center for tsunamis that pose a Pacific-wide threat. * Citizen Responsibility – what should you do? – FEMA Factsheet WC/ATWC Tsunami Safety Rules National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program Tsunami Awareness page * Can Tsunamis be Predicted? Since science cannot predict when earthquakes will occur, they cannot determine exactly when a tsunami will be generated. But with the aid of historical records of tsunamis and numerical models, scientists can get an idea where tsunamis are most likely to be generated. * Where can I find more information about tsunamis?
