Tsunamis can be devastating - as seen this week in American Samoa and nearly five years ago around the Indian Ocean. NOAA's National Weather Service is helping to keep the nation's coastline safe through observations and warnings. Can you recognize the signs of an impending tsunami? Do you know what to do?

We are Charting the Future of NOAA and the National Weather Service. To better prepare for external developments and challenges we will face in serving the Nation we need your help. What trends will shape our future? What challenges or opportunities will we face? What should NOAA strive to accomplish? Join us in developing the Next Generation Strategic Plan.

NOAA has completed implementation of the final phase of a nine year contract by installing the newest generation of IBM supercomputers for weather and climate prediction. The supercomputers allow NOAA to run more complex models in an effort to improve forecast accuracy and extend watch and warning lead times for severe weather, including hurricanes, tornadoes, air quality, wildfires, floods, tsunamis and winter storms.

Every year, about 100,000 wildfires burn millions of acres in the United States causing severe destruction and loss of life. NOAA sends highly trained fire weather forecasters, called incident meteorologists (IMETs), to provide accurate, on-site weather forecast, warning, and consultation services to help firefighters, incident responders, and command staff manage wildfires.

The remnants of Danny are moving rapidly toward the north-northeast at 30 to 35 MPH as a extratropical low. While Danny is no longer a tropical system, large swells from the extratropical low are expected to produce dangerous surf conditions and life-threatening rip currents along the U.S. East Coast during the next day or two.
