Tsunami awareness - Strengthening tsunami warning and emergency response
The activities of this course will introduce software decision support tools that can be used by stakeholder agencies involved in tsunami early warning. The training seminars will discuss tsunami warning centres and the country's tsunami warning and emergency response standard operating procedures and highlight considerations in effectively mitigating against tsunamis.
The course consists of nine topics, covering an overview of tsunamis, hazard assessments, warning and emergency response, tsunami preparedness and mitigation and end-to-end tsunami warning. There are also supplemental materials to provide additional background information for this course. This course should be adapted to the local country context in which it is delivered.
