BACKGROUND
IOC ICG/ITSU
In April 1965, IOC est. ICG/ITSU International Coordination Group for the Tsunami Warning System in the Pacific (TWSP)
Recommends & Coordinate tsunami programs, including timely international tsunami warnings Subsidiary Group to IOC Assembly composed by 129 States
RHH Pacific Tsunami Warning Center acts as TWSP Operations Center; hosted by USA
IOC ICG/ITSU
27 member States:
Australia, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Cook Islands, Costa Rica, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Ecuador, El Salvador, Fiji, France, Guatemala, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Peru, Philippines, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Thailand, USSR, United States, Samoa.
Successful Operational Tsunami Warning System Successful international scientific program Direct humanitarian aim Mitigate tsunami effects - save lives/property System based on national / regional warning centres + international information centre (ITIC); Training Programme Pacific Basin monitoring of seismicity and sea levels Global network of tsunami scientists

UN role
Define the proper scale of the problem and its solution. The system must be:
Fully owned by Indian Ocean Rim countries Based on international multilateral cooperation Based on the open and free exchange of data Protect all countries in the Indian Ocean Basin Transparent and accountable to all members

Deep-sea pressure sensor technology for tsunami detection (NOAA DART availability)
Facilitating free exchange of national data for protection of life and property. Communication channels for increased number of instrumental platforms (Geo-sta Meteo Satellites)
Support for the establishment of IOC Operational Centre for disaster management
|24
Conduct research on
Real time seismic characterization of great earthquakes Numerical Modelling of impacted/vulnerable coastlines Engineering design guidance for seismic/tsunami loading; vertical evacuation criteria New real-time tsunami (and other hazards) monitoring GPS (remote, cabled), altimetry, ionospheric, remote sensing
Collect all data on earthquake / tsunami, and follow-up studies Create universally-available, comprehensive database / archive
Global, regional, local seismograms, hydroacoustic, satellite, deformation signals; Sea level records coastal gauges, deepocean; Satellite imagery Damage and impact; Research
Participate as experts in capacity building efforts organized regionally (by IOC and others) and nationally 25
