The Tsunami Awareness Program (TAP) - Hawaii is the result of a collaborative partnership between Hawaii Emergency
Management Agency and the Pacific Disaster Center with support from the TsunamiReady Program.
TAP - Hawaii, developed in 2012, expands upon a collection of existing tsunami awareness and preparedness
resources to include Hawaii-specific examples, resources and templates.
The goal of the Tsunami Awareness Program is to enhance community resilience through a facilitated
education and outreach program that promotes hazard understanding and awareness, and offers tools and
information resources to guide preparedness and response.
A further intent of the TAP is to make materials easily accessible to the public to
foster tsunami awareness and guide community preparedness efforts with the ultimate goal of building
long-term resilience to this hazard. Choose resources from the categories above to learn more about the
tsunami hazard, develop a disaster preparedness plan for you and your family, assemble a disaster supply
kit, and take life-saving actions during a tsunami.
