Unalaska, AK – This week, public safety officials from across the Aleutian chain up to Kodiak are gathering at the Grand Aleutian Hotel for a tsunami operations workshop. The goal of this convention is to prepare tsunami-prone communities for what to do if disaster strikes.

The workshop started yesterday and it will continue through tomorrow. It's being put on by the Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, and presenters include representatives for the Alaska Tsunami Warning Center, the National Weather Service Anchorage Forecast Office, and our own Unalaska department of public safety.
