Tsunami Warning Center

A Tsunami Warning Center is an organization that monitors seismic activity and ocean conditions to detect potential tsunamis. When an earthquake occurs, these centers analyze data to determine if a tsunami is likely and its potential impact. They issue warnings and alerts to inform governments and the public, allowing for evacuation and safety measures. The goal is to minimize risk and protect lives and property. In the U.S., the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) operates the Tsunami Warning Centers along the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
