The Traffic Control Class held on Saturday, January 28^th was attended by over 60 people from TSB, CERT, DCS, Pasadena Police Department, and Norwalk. I would like to thank everyone for making this a such a success. A huge thanks goes out to Sgt. Jablonsky for giving such a great class and to the staff that helped with sales, refreshments, and the room reservations.

 The "Tsunami Warning Systems" module describes the processes involved in
anticipating, detecting, and warning for a tsunami by summarizing data
collection, modeling, analysis, and alert procedures used at NOAA’s
Tsunami Warning Centers. The "Tsunami Science" module, entitled
Tsunamis, delves into the science behind tsunami generation,
propagation, and inundation. The "Community Tsunami Preparedness" module
describes proper preparations for a tsunami. The "TsunamiStrike!" module
is an interactive tsunami training module oriented for middle and high
school ages, but fun and useful for anyone.

These fully narrated modules contain numerous animations and
photographs, as well as a companion print version. The content varies
between the modules, but is appropriate for anyone wanting to learn more
about tsunamis, preparedness, and the components of tsunami warning
systems.

The COMET program is part of the University Corporation for Atmospheric
Research’s (UCAR’s) Community Programs and is sponsored by NOAA’s
National Weather Service (NWS). It was established in 1989 by UCAR and
NOAA’s NWS to promote a better understanding of meteorology among
weather forecasters and to maximize the benefits of new weather
technologies during the NWS’s modernization program.
