The Library is comprised of materials that pertain to the study of tsunamis. The aim of the Library is to assist in the understanding of tsunamis by maintaining both current and historical materials, and making these available in the public interest to the public and researchers at large. The materials include contributions from ... organizations, as well as individuals who have donated copies of their work. The IOC/UNESCO International Tsunami Information Center (ITIC) Library catalogue currently contains over 5,600 records, and is searchable through the link below.
The Library collects tsunami and earthquake catalogs, tsunami event information, conference proceedings, maps, reports, government documents, journal articles, and graduate theses. Government documents have been collected from US federal, state and local agencies, as well as from UNESCO's IOC and other ITSU Member States. The documents focus on research, risk assessment, tsunami travel time and source studies, and measurement of tsunamis. Research themes include ocean engineering, disasters and economic development, earth science and disaster case studies. Manuals deal with land use management, conducting post-tsunami surveys, and tsunami warning system communication plans. Mitigation materials relating to the social aspects of warning, disaster relief efforts and prevention. The library keeps selected newspaper and magazine articles, brochures, photographs, videos and educational materials, and has archives of oral history.
The Library is located at the ITIC office in the National Weather Service's Pacific Region Headquarters. Although materials cannot be borrowed, the library is open for public use. For reference assistance or to make an appointment to visit, please call 1 (808) 532-6422.
