Tsunami inundation mapping
Project Details
Project ID:
98
Nickname/Abbreviation:
NTHMP
Parent Project:
Alaska Earthquake and Tsunami Hazards Program
Status:
Ongoing
Description:
DGGS manages the DNR portion of the federally funded National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program (NTHMP) increasing earthquake and tsunami hazard awareness across the state. The program identifies at-risk coastal Alaska communities and provides tsunami hazard maps for hazard mitigation and emergency response training. It is funded by the Dept. of Homeland Security and Emergency Management and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA).
