School, Alaska officials seek input on tsunami guidelines
KODIAK, Alaska (AP) — The University of Alaska Fairbanks and state officials are seeking public input on new guidelines for how coastal communities should respond to tsunamis.
New modeling shows the potential for extreme currents and flooding if a large tsunami were to hit Alaska's coastal communities and possible damage in areas where it wasn't previously predicted, The Kodiak Daily Mirror reported (http://bit.ly/29qIqxT).
University of Alaska Fairbanks researchers and representatives from the National Weather Service, Tsunami Warning Center and Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management discussed the new information during a meeting in the Kodiak Emergency Operations Center.
