Educational Project Drivers Strategic Implementation Plan for Tsunami Mitigation Projects (Dengler, 1998) Why Education is essential to Mitigation: • Individuals must be able to take appropriate action on their own • Inadequacy of the technical information available • Information about tsunamis is highly technical and not easily accessible to emergency managers, local decision makers, and the public

  4. Goals • M&E Subcommittee develop and adopt NTHMP Educational Standards • Provide all tsunami communities with Public Education that meets NTHMP Educational Standards • Ensure all TsunamiReady Communitiesmeet NTHMP Public education standards

  5. Objectives • Focus on NTHMP Strategic Plan Educational Performance Measures • Utilize NTHMP educational infrastructure – State, Territory, and Commonwealth (STC) and TsunamiReady Program • Engage STC expertise and talent – especially professional Emergency Managers and Scientists

  6. Implementation Goal • Establish Train the TrainerPrograms (T3) to graduate qualified Tsunami Public Education Instructors • Instructors teach Community-specific Tsunami Education Workshops

  7. Implementation Objectives Establish Templates for Community-Specific Educational Workshops and T3 Programs that can be adapted to the special needs and requirements of each Partner STCs
