National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program

The National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program (NTHMP) is an initiative in the United States aimed at reducing the risk and impact of tsunamis on communities. It focuses on improving tsunami detection and warning systems, developing hazard assessments, and educating the public about tsunami risks and safety measures. By collaborating with local governments and scientific organizations, the program enhances preparedness and response strategies, ensuring that people in vulnerable areas have the knowledge and tools necessary to protect themselves in the event of a tsunami. This ultimately aims to save lives and reduce property damage from such natural disasters.
