NEW
TSUNAMI WARNING SYSTEM TO PROTECT ALL OF THE UNITED STATES
Expanded System
to Protect U.S. Atlantic Coast and Caribbean
The White House
Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
and the National Science Foundation (NSF) outlined plans to expand
the current Pacific Tsunami Warning System and build a new tsunami
warning system for the Atlantic coast of the United States and the
Carribean. The NOAA Pacific Tsunami Warning System currently benefits
26 member nations in the Pacific Basin. The new system to be built
for the Atlantic and Caribbean also will benefit other nations if
they choose to receive the bulletins and warnings for the deadly waves.
The U.S. Geological Survey will put seismic sensors in these new areas
as part of the Atlantic and Caribbean tsunami warning system.
Participants:
John H. Marburger, III, Science Adviser to the President and Director

Retired Navy Vice Adm. Conrad C. Lautenbacher, Jr., NOAA Administrator
and Undersecretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere
