This $309,998 federal Project Grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Meteorologic and Hydrologic Modernization Development program (CFDA 11.467) supports comprehensive tsunami preparedness, mitigation, and resilience efforts in American Samoa. The grant funds activities such as travel, mitigation education and outreach, tsunami siren maintenance and installation, evacuation displays for schools in tsunami-vulnerable areas, and the enhancement of coastal individual village evacuation maps. These efforts aim to improve tsunami prediction, response capabilities, and overall community preparedness through scientific research, technological development, and collaborative emergency management initiatives. The award was made to the American Samoa Department of Homeland Security, a territorial emergency management agency responsible for coordinating critical preparedness, response, and resilience efforts across the U.S. territory.
