The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration΄s NOAA (NOAA) Center for Tsunami Research NCTR mission See NOAA NCTR See NOAA (NCTR) uses geospatial data and GIS analysis techniques in support of building an accurate tsunami forecasting tsunami forecasting system for the US Tsunami Warning Centers. forecasting products See tsunami The resulting forecast products can be integrated into applications and visualizations to assess hazard risk and provide mitigation for US coastal communities ranging from small towns to large urban centers. NCTR also conducts basic research on the nature of forecast propagation and inundation tsunami propagation and inundation, which relies on accurate geospatial information. In this chapter, we discuss how we have used both open source and commercially available geospatial technologies to address issues in tsunami research and hazard mitigation – including modeling visualization See tsunami model visualization, data delivery, and emergency management products. Additionally, we discuss the modeling coupling See tsunami development and coupling of tsunami model results with coastal risk, vulnerability, and evacuation models, raising the issues of integration, visualization, proliferation of mapping applications, and the ease of use and intended audience of these products.
