  11. Tsunami program cuts would leave California exposed

    The Times&rsquo; April 18 editorial, &ldquo;<a href=&quot;http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/opinionla/la-ed-tsunami-warning-budget-cuts-20120417,0,5088767.story">Tsunami alert: Don&rsquo;t cut that program</a>,&rdquo; raises awareness of some unwelcome proposed cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration&rsquo;s tsunami program. The cuts, which amount to $4.6 million, would affect two important components of the national program. The Times&rsquo; primary concern is with the smaller of the two reductions, a $1-million hit to the array of buoys in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans that detects tsunamis. The much-larger $3.6-million cut to the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program, or NTHMP, concerns The Times less. It shouldn&rsquo;t.
