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).

UN-organized tsunami exercise shows Indian Ocean region now ‘better prepared’
UN, 12 September 2014 – A decade after the Indian Ocean tsunami disaster, which killed nearly 250,000 people and left an arc of devastation across 12 countries, a warning system devised by the United Nations to assess communications flows and readiness procedures throughout the region is functioning “effectively,” the world body has announced after a two-day simulation exercise.
“The terrible images of the 2004 tsunami are still fresh in our memories. Ten years later, this new warning exercise demonstrates that the efforts of the Indian Ocean Rim countries to be better prepared for such disasters are bearing fruit,” said Irina Bokova, Director-General of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

Η Ιαπωνία αναθεωρεί το σύστημα προειδοποίησης για απειλή τσουνάμι
H Εθνική Mετεωρολογική Υπηρεσία της Ιαπωνίας παρουσίασε σήμερα ένα υπερσύγχρονο σύστημα προειδοποίησης για απειλή τσουνάμι.
Όπως σημειώνουν οι ειδικοί η έμφαση θα δοθεί
κυρίως στην έγκαιρη έκδοση οδηγιών για την απομάκρυνση των κατοίκων της
χώρας και όχι στις πληροφορίες για το ύψος των κυμάτων, όπως γινόταν
μέχρι σήμερα.
