This page, "Tsunami Data at NGDC", provides access to the considerable information on tsunamis available from the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), including NGDC's Tsunami Database, which encompasses about 6,600 records of tsunami events from 49 BC to the present, tide gauge records for over 3,000 tsunamis in the last 150 years, tsunami slide sets, and tsunami publications. (Be sure to check out the cool "Wave of the Future" graphic at the top of the page.)

The home page of the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center provides the most recent press releases, advisories, watches, and warnings from the center; messages from and links to other warning centers around the Pacific; and links to earthquake and tsunami catalogs and other tsunami databases. It also provides background information on the physics of tsunamis, tsunami safety, and the Great Alaskan Earthquake and Tsunami of 1964.
