flag NOAA cut funding for Aleutian seismic monitoring, risking tsunami warnings for Pacific Coast communities.

flag NOAA has canceled funding for a decades-old seismic monitoring program in the Aleutian Islands and Bering Sea, forcing the Earthquake Center to halt operations at NOAA-supported sites by November. flag The move, due to unallocated budget funds, threatens tsunami warning capabilities for Pacific Coast communities, including Hawaii and the West Coast, despite the region’s history of deadly tsunamis like the 1946 event. flag Officials express concern over reduced detection capacity, though NOAA and the Tsunami Warning Coordinator have not commented.
