With funding from the U.S. National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program and in collaboration with NOAA Public Affairs, the ITIC produced two informational videos.  The content list for the Tsunami B-roll can be download from the link below.  The product is available upon request from ITIC.

The Tsunami B-Roll (Background Information Video) is a collection of interviews, tsunami science and numerical tsunami propagation animations, and other graphics for use by broadcast media as filler or background footage during a television news presentation or a documentary program.   It may also be useful to emergency managers, educators, and for training.   The subject matter covers the science of tsunamis, the U.S. tsunami warning programs and centres in Hawaii and Alaska, the U.S. Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program, Tsunami Ready preparedness programs, and the ITIC.   The video runs 57 minutes and is available in Beta-SP and DVD format.
