Global and Regional Hazard Maps

 

The ITIC and NOAA's National Center for Environmental Information (NCEI, formerly NGDC), and also ICSU World Data Service for Geophysics) have collaborated to produce global and regional hazard maps for tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanoes. The NCEI manages global geophysical, sea floor, and natural hazards data, including tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanoes.

The Tsunami Sources (English) poster was updated in 2010, 2011, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020, 2022 and in Spanish in 2012. The Earthquake and Volcano posters were updated in 2010, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020. The Tsunami Sources Icosohedron was updated in 2010, 2012, 2014, 2020.  Map posters and Icosohedrons in hard copy are available on request from ITIC.
