Established in 1949, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center
(PTWC) in Ewa Beach, Hawai`i, provides warnings for teletsunamis to most
countries in the Pacific Basin as well as to Hawai`i and all other US interests in the Pacific outside
of Alaska and the US West Coast. Those areas are served by the West Coast / Alaska
Tsunami Warning Center (WC/ATWC) in Palmer, Alaska.
PTWC is also the warning center for Hawai`i's local and regional tsunamis.
