NOAA's Tsunami Research Program

NOAA's Tsunami Research Program investigates the causes, behavior, and impact of tsunamis to improve early warning systems and public safety. It studies ocean and seismic data to better predict when tsunamis might occur, how they travel across oceans, and their potential effects on coastal communities. This research supports the development of accurate forecasts, warning protocols, and preparedness strategies, helping communities understand their risk and respond effectively to tsunami threats. Overall, NOAA aims to reduce the loss of life and property by advancing scientific knowledge and operational capabilities related to tsunamis.
