Tsunami Research Planning Meeting

为期两天的海啸研究讲习班是为了制定一个可行的 海啸工程学未来研究战略和计划。 其他联邦机构的研究需求和兴趣， 参与海啸研究的包括商务部 （NOAA），USGS和海军部进行评估。 海啸 对美国沿海地区的生命和财产构成重大危害 包括加州、夏威夷和阿拉斯加。 自1946年以来， 美国已经造成355人死亡，估计沿海地区的损失 超过1/5亿美元。 海啸研究的必要性 规划会议在海啸研究中得到了广泛的感受 社区和支持相关活动的联邦机构内部 到海啸。

A two-day tsunami research workshop is conducted to develop a viable research strategy and plans for future research in tsunami engineering. The research needs and interests from other federal agencies that are involved in tsunami research including the Department of Commerce (NOAA), USGS, and the Department of the Navy are assessed. Tsunamis are a major hazard to lives and property in the U.S. coastal areas including California, Hawaii, and Alaska. Since 1946, tsunamis in the U.S. have caused 355 fatalities and an estimated loss of coastal recources of over 1/2 billion dollars. A need for a tsunami research planning meeting has been widely felt within the tsunami research community and within federal agencies that support activities related to tsunamis.
