To reauthorize the Tsunami Warning and Education Act, and for other purposes.

HR 6234 reauthorizes the Tsunami Warning and Education Act, updating federal tsunami warning systems and research programs. It requires NOAA to improve data management, integrate global satellite networks, and evaluate alert terminology with communities to ensure clearer warnings. The bill mandates new reporting to Congress on standardizing warning systems, migrating message technology, and updating inundation maps for coastal areas. It authorizes $32 million annually (2024-2028), with 27% funding state-level hazard mitigation programs and 8% supporting tsunami research. These changes directly affect NOAA’s tsunami centers, coastal communities, and federal partners like USGS and NASA.
