State seismologist: Nine Alaska tsunami detection stations to shut down in Nov.

Alaska's tsunami early warning system is at risk due to sudden federal funding cuts, leaving nine detection stations in the Aleutian Islands offline. The state's seismologist warns of dangerous gaps in detection, especially in high-risk areas, potentially endangering Alaska and the broader West Coast. The cuts, possibly related to federal agency turmoil, have left Alaskans worried about their preparedness for a potentially catastrophic tsunami, as the last major event occurred over fifty years ago.
