About

Communities can also become TsunamiReady Supporters if they can't meet all criteria but still promote tsunami safety. The program offers benefits like technical support and insurance discounts. It aims to improve safety through planning, education, and communication during emergencies. The site includes details on application processes and lists of recognized communities in various U.S states and territories.
