International Tsunami Information Center

The International Tsunami Information Center (ITIC) is an organization that helps protect people from tsunamis, which are large ocean waves caused by undersea earthquakes or other disturbances. It provides early warning systems, important data, and educational resources to coastal countries around the Pacific and Indian Oceans. ITIC works to improve preparedness, promote accurate and timely alerts, and support collaboration among nations. Its goal is to reduce the risk and impact of tsunamis through information sharing and technical assistance, ultimately helping communities better respond to and recover from these natural disasters.
