| Descripción: | In June 2021, UNESCO IOC approved the Ocean Decade Tsunami Programme (ODTP) in response to the call to action by the UN Ocean Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030). The ODTP has two overarching goals: (1) develop the warning system’s capability to issue actionable and timely forecasts for tsunamis from all identified sources for all communities at risk, and (2) 100% of communities at risk are prepared and resilient to tsunamis by 2030. In 2022, a Scientific Committee for ODTP was established to develop a 10-Year Research, Development and Implementation Plan to reach these two objectives. This presentation will focus on three of the four areas of the plan: -Enhance tsunami risk assessments and research on technologies, so the countries know their expected vulnerability and threat (tsunami characteristics), and can identify and prioritize the at-risk communities. -Ensure all National Tsunami Warning Centres have access to data, tools and communication platforms, protocols and training to timely and effectively warn coastal and maritime communities threatened by tsunamis and other coastal hazards that are integrated into a multi-hazard framework. -Emphasize the importance of building tsunami resilient communities that are prepared and ready to respond through the UNESCO IOC Tsunami Ready Recognition Programme. Tsunami Ready is a global, voluntary community-based effort approved in 2022. It has 12 indicators categorized into Assessment, Preparedness and Response, and thus addresses all of the three aforementioned areas of the Plan. The objectives will be achieved through involvement of stakeholders at all levels and attention on capacity development and governance. |
