Major tsunamis do not happen often, but when they do, they can have a significant impact on life and property. Even small tsunamis, which are more common, can cause loss of life, injuries and considerable damage.</p> <p class="bullet">In the United States, the threat posed by tsunamis is greatest along the Pacific and Caribbean Coasts, but tsunamis are also possible on the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts. In 2001, recognizing these threats and the vital role played by coastal communities in protecting the nation from tsunamis, the National Weather Service (NWS) and the <a href="https://www.weather.gov/nthmp/" target="_blank">National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program</a> (NTHMP–a partnership led by NOAA that today includes the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the U.S. Geological Survey and 28 U.S. states and territories) established the TsunamiReady program to encourage and recognize community tsunami preparedness. Modeled on the NWS's successful <a href="https://www.weather.gov/stormready/" target="_blank">StormReady</a><sup>®</sup> program, TsunamiReady helps communities* minimize the risk posed by tsunamis through better risk assessment, planning, education and warning communications.</p> <p class="bullet">TsunamiReady is a voluntary community recognition program that promotes tsunami hazard preparedness as an active collaboration among federal, state/territorial and local emergency management agencies, community leaders and the public. The main goal of the program is to improve public safety before, during and after tsunami emergencies. It aims to do this by establishing <a href="https://www.weather.gov/tsunamiready/guidelines">guidelines</a> for a standard level of capability to mitigate, prepare for and respond to tsunamis and working with communities to help them meet the guidelines and ultimately become recognized as TsunamiReady by the NWS.</p> <p class="bullet">Although tsunamis cannot be prevented, becoming TsunamiReady can help communities minimize their losses. Other incentives to becoming TsunamiReady include:</p> <ul> <li class="bullet">Access to technical support from the NWS and <a href="https://www.weather.gov/nthmp/Partners" target="_blank">NTHMP partners</a></li> <li class="bullet">Eligibility for credit points from the Federal Emergency Management Agency's <a href="https://www.fema.gov/national-flood-insurance-program-community-rating-system" target="_blank">Community Rating System</a>, which provides discounts on flood insurance in participating communities</li> <li class="bullet">Justification for costs associated with tsunami preparedness</li> <li class="bullet">Improved positioning to receive state/territorial and federal financial support</li> <li class="bullet">Improved preparedness for other hazards</li> </ul> <p class="bullet">To learn more about what is involved in becoming TsunamiReady, visit <a href="https://www.weather.gov/tsunamiready/become">How to Become TsunamiReady</a> or contact your <a href="https://www.weather.gov/stormready/contact" target="_blank">local NWS Weather Forecast Office</a>.</p> <p><span class="bullet">*<em>For the purposes of the TsunamiReady program, "community" is defined as a local government entity, an Indian tribal government or a facility that has the authority and ability to implement the TsunamiReady Guidelines.</em></span></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div class="div-full"> <div class="cms-content"> </div> </div> <div style="clear:both"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="partial-width-borderbottom feature-block">  </div> <div class="full-width-first"> </div> <div style="clear:both;"></div> </div> </div>  <div class="footer"> </div>  <div class="footer-legal"> <div class="footer-legal"> <div class="footer-legal-content"> <div class="one-sixth-first" id="footer_legal_gov"> <a href="http://www.usa.gov"><img src="/bundles/templating/images/footer/usa_gov.png" alt="usa.gov" width="110" height="30" /></a> </div> <div class="one-half-first" id="footer_legal_info"> <p> <a href="http://www.commerce.gov">US Dept of Commerce</a><br /> <a href="http://www.noaa.gov">National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration</a><br /> <a href="https://www.weather.gov">National Weather Service</a><br /> TsunamiReady脗庐<br /> 1325 East-West Highway<br /> Silver Spring, MD 20910 <br /><br /> <br /><a href="mailto:wrn.feedback@noaa.gov">Comments?
