诺阿削减了用于阿留申地震监测的资金,这有可能给太平洋海岸社区带来海啸警报。 NOAA cut funding for Aleutian seismic monitoring, risking tsunami warnings for Pacific Coast communities.

诺阿已取消对阿留申群岛和白令海长达数十年的地震监测方案的供资,迫使地震中心在11月前停止在诺阿所支助的地点的作业。 NOAA has canceled funding for a decades-old seismic monitoring program in the Aleutian Islands and Bering Sea, forcing the Earthquake Center to halt operations at NOAA-supported sites by November. 由于预算资金没有分配,这一举动威胁到太平洋沿岸社区,包括夏威夷和西海岸的海啸预警能力,尽管该区域历史上曾发生像1946年事件那样的致命海啸。 The move, due to unallocated budget funds, threatens tsunami warning capabilities for Pacific Coast communities, including Hawaii and the West Coast, despite the region’s history of deadly tsunamis like the 1946 event. 官员对探测能力下降表示关切,尽管海洋大气署和海啸警报协调员未发表评论。 Officials express concern over reduced detection capacity, though NOAA and the Tsunami Warning Coordinator have not commented.
