Tsunami risk mitigation and early warning systems
What is the Ocean Decade Tsunami Programme?
The Ocean Decade Tsunami Programme (ODTP) is a pioneering initiative by UNESCO-IOC to strengthen tsunami safety around the world by bringing together governments, warning systems, and coastal communities through coordination of information and educational activities.
The Tsunami Programme relies on four Intergovernmental Coordination Groups (ICGs) to coordinate regional tsunami warning and mitigation activities, including the provision of tsunami information to National Tsunami Warning Centres (NTWCs).
Similarly, four Tsunami Information Centres (TICs) address regional needs and support Member States in tsunami capacity-building, development of educational and preparedness resources, and documentation of past events.
Member States have the sovereign responsibility to assess the available data and issue tsunami warnings to their at-risk communities.
