Oceanographic Commission
Established in 1960, part of UNESCO
Purpose isto promote international cooperation and tocoordinate programmes inresearch, services and capacity-building,in order to learn more about the nature andresources of the ocean and coastal areasand to apply that knowledge for theimprovement of management, sustainabledevelopment, the protectionof the marineenvironment, and the decision-makingprocess of its Member States

EWS WILL SAVE LIVESRequirements
1. Warning
local (educate), distant (monitoring center)2. Recognized Authorized National Authority receives
and immediately evaluates/translates, informs public
For an appropriate response,
- government must understand phenomena,
and limitations of impact prediction,
- have already practiced response plan,
- have already educated and prepared public,
- have already minimized impact through
pre-disaster mitigation
- during and afterward, be prepared to explain
to highest government leaders and public
why decisions made (qualitatively, quantitatively)

UN role
Define the proper scale of the problemand 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

How does it function?
Is based on the joint operation ofinternational networks of detectionconnected with national tsunami warningcentres
UN governance provided under the IOC
Each nation is responsible for issuingwarnings in their territory and protect its own
population.National centres must have strong links withemergency preparedness authorities(national, provincial and local)

Issues requiring support
Donor Coordination: Financial project pledges
to extend Tsunami coverage to 28 nations ofIndian Ocean Rim beyond 2005 and to multi-hazard
platform (TSU-REG-05/CSS10 Region)
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
IOCOperational Centre for disaster management

How can scientists assist?In collaboration with countries:
Conduct post-tsunami surveys; Report / data to countries (IOC) Wave runup/inundat ion, geolog y, engineer ing, soc ial, eyewitn ess
Conduct research on Real t ime seismic character izat ion of great earthquakes
Numerical Model l ing of im pacted/vu lnerable coast l ines
Engineer ing design guidance for seism ic/tsunami loading ;
vert ical evacuat ion cr i ter ia New real-t ime tsu nami (and o ther hazards ) monito r ing
GPS (remo te, cabled), alt imetry , ionospheric, remo te sens ing
Collect all data on earthquake / tsunami, and follow-up studies
Create universally-available, comprehensive database / archive Global, regional, local seismograms, hyd roacou st ic, satel l i te,
deformation sign als; Sea level reco rds coastal gauges, deep-ocean; Satellite imagery
Damage and imp act; Research
Participate as experts in capacity building efforts organized
regionally (by IOC and others) and nationally
