The ITIC and NOAA's National Center for Environmental Information (NCEI, formerly NGDC), and also ICSU World Data Service for Geophysics) have collaborated to produce global and regional hazard maps for tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanoes. The NCEI manages global geophysical, sea floor, and natural hazards data, including tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanoes. The Tsunami Sources (English) poster was updated in 2010, 2011, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020, 2022, 2023 and in Spanish in 2012. The Earthquake and Volcano posters were updated in 2010, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2023. The Tsunami Sources Icosohedron was updated in 2010, 2012, 2014, 2020. Map posters and Icosohedrons in hard copy are available on request from ITIC. Over history (1610 BC to AD 2022), there have been over 1,400 confirmed tsunamis, of which 264 have been deadly. 69% occurred in the Pacific Ocean. 80% of the tsunamis were caused by earthquakes.   Click here to download the above 2022 Tsunami Sources map...
