Intergovernmental

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)


12/26

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


13/26

13

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
