NOAA Tsunami Research Program

The NOAA Tsunami Research Program, operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, studies how tsunamis form, travel, and impact coastlines. The program gathers data from seismic sensors and ocean buoys to improve early warning systems. Its goal is to better understand tsunami behavior, enhance prediction accuracy, and develop response strategies to protect lives and property. By advancing scientific knowledge and technology, the program helps communities prepare for and respond effectively to tsunami threats worldwide.
