NOAA Pacific Tsunami Warning System, M7.0+ submarine earthquake triggers, and coastal inundation zones tracked live.
🧠 OPEN BRAIN DASHBOARD LIVEOn December 26, 2004, the Indian Ocean erupted. A magnitude 9.1 earthquake beneath Sumatra unleashed a tsunami that raced across the ocean at jet-plane speed—and killed nearly a quarter million people before anyone could properly warn them. Today, that disaster haunts every coastal city. The difference between then and now? Real-time detection, travel-time forecasting, and a dashboard that shows you exactly when and where the waves arrive.
The Tsunami Risk tab on Pandita Data's Brain Dashboard is your window into that early-warning world—built on NOAA Pacific Tsunami Warning Center data, live earthquake feeds, and two decades of tsunami science.
When a major earthquake ruptures beneath the ocean, the Tsunami Risk tab activates in seconds. You see:
Today's status: 0 significant earthquakes. 0 tsunami-flagged events. But Lima's coastal risk profile—a city of 9+ million perched on Peru's subduction zone—remains perpetually monitored. Check the Brain Dashboard and Disaster Report for live risk scores in your region.
Behind every animated wave front lies hydrodynamic physics. Here's what the Brain Dashboard computes:
Tsunami waves slow dramatically as they approach shore—dragging on the seafloor, amplifying in height. The Dashboard's 3D simulations show this physics in motion, giving you intuition for how a 30-centimeter wave offshore becomes a 5-meter wall on land.
Pandita Data includes 500+ documented tsunamis spanning centuries. Use that archive to understand local hazard patterns. A coast hit once can be hit again.
Not every earthquake makes a tsunami. The Brain Dashboard applies a magnitude 7.0 or higher threshold as the baseline tsunami trigger. This rule filters noise while catching the events that matter—subduction-zone ruptures, deep-ocean epicenters, and vertical seafloor displacements that actually move water.
Smaller quakes can create tsunamis (rare, localized), and larger ones sometimes don't (strike-slip faults). The M7.0 rule is a practical sentinel, not a guarantee. That's why you pair it with NOAA's real-time assessment.
The sea doesn't wait for certainty. Neither should you. Open the Brain Dashboard now, toggle the Tsunami Risk tab, and see how your coast ranks today.
