Project Description

Project Title:  View help for Project Title HIFLD OPEN Historical Tsunami Event Locations
Summary:  View help for Summary Natural hazards such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanoes affect both coastal and inland areas. Long-term data from these events can be used to establish the past record of natural hazard event occurrences, which is important for planning, response, and mitigation of future events. NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) plays a major role in post-event data collection. The data in this archive is gathered from scientific and scholarly sources, regional and worldwide catalogs, tide gauge reports, individual event reports, and unpublished works. To view this service in an interactive mapping application, please see the Global Natural Hazards Data Viewer (NOAA GeoPlatform entry) or Tsunami Events (1850-present) Time-Lapse map viewer. This is a feature layer displaying historical tsunami events from the Global Historical Tsunami Database at NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information.
