Grant Description

The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU participant to fund assessments of debris management for the Tsunami scenario affecting the west coast of California. The tsunami scenario, generated from a hypothetical but realistic M~9.0 earthquake in the Eastern Aleutian Islands, is being developed for emergency planning. As with each prior MHDP scenario, the USGS is partnering with a variety of agencies to explore the most important implications of a distant tsunami disaster and opportunities to better prepare them and reduce their vulnerability.
