NDBC will be participating in PACIFEX26, a partner tabletop exercise with the Tsunami Warning Centers (TWCs) scheduled for May 05 at 1600 UTC. To simulate real-time tsunami observations, the exercise may involve activating Deep Ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunami (DART) buoys. For more information please see PNS26-39.
