FROM: Paul Whitmore
Director, West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center
SUBJECT: Name Change of the West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning
Center to National Tsunami Warning Center Effective
October 1, 2013
Effective October 1, 2013, the NWS West Coast/Alaska Tsunami
Warning Center (WC/ATWC) will be known as the National Tsunami
Warning Center (NTWC). The only change to the NTWC product suite
will be the Center's name in the Mass News Disseminator (MND)
Header. All AWIPS and WMO identifiers will remain the same. The
Center's current URL will continue to function:
http://wcatwc.arh.noaa.gov
A new URL also will link to the same site on or before October 1.
http://ntwc.arh.noaa.gov
The present issuing office line in the MND header is:
NWS WEST COAST/ALASKA TSUNAMI WARNING CENTER PALMER AK After the change, the issuing office line in the MND header will be: NWS NATIONAL TSUNAMI WARNING CENTER PALMER AK The new name is intended to better identify the Center's area-of- responsibility, which is the ocean coasts of all states except Hawaii as well as Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, and Canada. The new change will help mitigate confusion caused by the former name which did not did not reflect the area of responsibility.
