The Tsunami Program recognizes the need to integrate social science information to support and improve its mission-related activities. This RFA requests social science research support to address three primary objectives: (1) Improve Tsunami Warning Center (TWC) products, including warnings, advisories, watches, and information statements, (2) Evaluate the Tsunami Ready Program Improvement, and (3) Assess previous and on-going tsunami-related social science studies including regional, state, and local efforts, to determine how to best integrate such information at the national level.
