Tsunami Warning Centers

Tsunami Warning Centers are specialized agencies that monitor ocean activity, seismic events, and underwater faults to detect potential tsunamis. They use advanced sensors, seismometers, and deep-sea buoys to identify signs of undersea earthquakes that could generate large waves. When a threat is identified, they analyze data to assess the risk and issue timely warnings to communities at risk, enabling evacuation and preparedness. Their goal is to reduce loss of life and property by providing accurate, early alerts based on scientific data and technology.
