The goal of the project is to maintain and strengthen tsunami preparedness in Puerto Rico by supporting communities to renew their TsunamiReady recognition and the TsunamiReady Supporters program. The project will be performed in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico and is expected to be completed by August 31, 2024.
