The USGS Volcano Science Center, along with other federal, state, and university resources, monitor and study Alaska's hazardous volcanoes, and to predict and record eruptive activity."

For more than 100 years, the USGS has played a critical role in reducing flood losses by operating a nationwide streamgage network that monitors the water level and flow of the Nation's rivers and streams."

Working with partners throughout all sectors of society, the USGS provides information, products, and knowledge to help build more resilient communities. This site provides important links to a number of hazard related internet sites that provide important information on the types of hazards that could occur in Alaska and how to better protect you and your families before and during a significant hazard event."

The USGS, in partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), assesses the Nation's tsunami hazards, provides tsunami education, and improves its system for tsunami warning."
