Mediterranean, North Atlantic prepares for UN-backed tsunami warning system test -- (Simulations will be carried out between 28 and 30 October)
UN, 23 October 2014 – Some 20 nations with coastlines on the North
Atlantic, and Mediterranean and Black Seas are set to participate in a
United Nations-supervised tsunami warning exercise to improve their
ability to respond to an alert and enhance regional coordination in the
event of a disaster.
In a press statement released today, the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) – the body coordinating the warning test since its first implementation in 2005 – reported that four tsunami simulations will be carried out between 28 and 30 October in an effort to assess the overall reactivity of countries participating in the Tsunami Early Warning and Mitigation System for the North-eastern Atlantic, the Mediterranean and connected seas (NEAMTWS).
