Abstract
 Reducing the Impact: U.S. Tsunami Forecast Modeling and Mapping Efforts Track: Sustainable Development and Humanitarian Affairs Author(s): Angie Venturato, Vasily Titov, Diego Arcas, Frank Gonzalez, Chris Chamberlin U.S. tsunami preparedness efforts have been accelerated due to the devastating 26 December 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is the lead agency for providing tsunami forecasts and warnings to U.S. coasts. The NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) plays an integral role in this effort through development of the tsunami forecast modeling system and distribution of inundation studies for at-risk communities. This presentation will provide an overview of PMEL Indian Ocean Tsunami model simulations and the role of GIS in U.S. tsunami modeling efforts.
