To require the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, through the National Weather Service, to establish a tsunami hazard mitigation program for all United States coastal States and insular areas.

H.R. 882 would require the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to create a comprehensive tsunami safety and mitigation program covering all U.S. coastal states and territories. This initiative aims to improve public safety by expanding the National Weather Service’s ability to detect underwater seismic activity and provide more accurate, timely warnings to residents in high-risk areas. For citizens living in or visiting coastal communities, the bill focuses on reducing the loss of life and property through better emergency planning, community preparedness programs, and modernized alert systems.
