  1. IOC Products and ServicesAlert, EarthquakeSea Level display/stationsTsunami event dataEducation, Awareness, Training Laura Kong, Director, ITIC ICG/IOTWS-II Hyderabad, India, 14-16 Dec 2005, rev 25 Jan2006, rev 7 Apr 2006

  2. Communications Plan forInterim Advisory Information System for the Indian Ocean Region, vers 16 Jan 2006 • Interim advisories by PTWC, JMA • 10-20 min after earthquake based on seismic information • As sea level stations are installed, advisories based on tsunami confirmation to be issued • Consistent format and wording of message • Consistent reporting of earthquake location and magnitude • Communications Test 4x/year TWC requests confirmation that links working JMA – 5 December 2005 Summary only 45% acknowledge response

  3. RANET – ITIC - PTWC Tsunami Alerts SMS/Cell Phone Text Messaging – 1 Mar 2005 Information Feeds(currently PTWC, but expand to other warning centers for cyclones, etc.) Commercial Gateway(near ‘global’ coverage where cell phone or satellite phone services exist) RANET Servers(receive messages and process to ensure security, backup, and place in appropriate SMS format)

  4. RANET – ITIC - PTWC Tsunami Alerts SMS/Cell Phone Text Messaging • What the SMS system IS NOT: • Not meant to replace existing and formal/official • means of communicating alerts or critical information. • Not meant to become the sole means of receiving • critical alert information – warnings and communication • should come through a ‘layered’ approach. • Not meant to be mass-public communicationsystem • for national official / disaster managers, • international organizations needing to be notified • Coverage: Africa, IO, Pacific, Central America • Pilot - contact l.kong@unesco.org, raw-sma@ranetproject.net

  5. Alert ServicesReal-Time Earthquake Display and Alert System (USGS – US NTHMP) Multi-platform Internet EQ broadcast Alert system (page, email) GIS Tsunami Warning

  6. Alert ServicesReal-time Earthquake Display and Alert System (USGS – US NTHMP) • Further enhancements (early 2006, v2.0): • Integrated Display and Emailer with text messaging • Tsunami Warning Message alerting – RED flashing • Tsunami travel time / model layers • Improved customization, GIS data layering, include raster images (currently vector only) • SIGN-UP: ITIC will be local administrator • Send email to itic.tsunami@noaa.gov

  7. Sea Level Station Decode / DisplayStation Inventory Web ServicePreserving Tsunami Data:Sea Level, Geophysical, Engineering, Social, etc

  9. Sea level Station Global Inventory Objective Integrate tide station databases • tsunami warning center managers • determine if station supports tsunami • monitoring • Integrate operator inventories • US NOS CO-OPS, NWLON • Univ of Hawaii Sea Level Center (UHSLC) • Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) • West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center • (WC/ATWC) • IOC GLOSS • National Sea Level Networks International Tsunami Information Centre (ITIC), UH Sea Level Center (UHSLC), Pacific Disaster Center, World Data Center/NGDC, NOAA Pacific Region Integrated Data Enterprise (PRIDE) Project UH Sea Level Center (UHSLC), International Tsunami Information Centre (ITIC), WDC/NGDC NOAA Pacific Region Integrated Data Enterprise (PRIDE) Project

  10. push Web Service client pull ETL SDE WEB Sea level Station Web Service Concept: Web Services = - Integrate information - Open standards (e.g., XML) - Use Internet backbone. Information exchange without exposing data owner’s system - self-describing docs / interface - Establish XML schemas, - Push data out to, - Pull data in (multiple provider databases), • Transform, push out in multiple report formats • through central client server International Tsunami Information Centre (ITIC), UH Sea Level Center (UHSLC), Pacific Disaster Center, World Data Center/NGDC, NOAA Pacific Region Integrated Data Enterprise (PRIDE) Project

  12. Preserving Critical Tsunami Information • Reconnaissance teams visit affected areas after tsunami events • Gather critical info including • Estimates of runup, scour, beach erosion, etc. • Physical measurements of damage • Eyewitness accounts • This info “disappears” if not gathered immediately • Why? Observations benchmark models Better mitigation

  13. Tsunami Reconnaissance Data Repositoryhosted by San Diego Supercomputermirror site IOC IODE, Belgium • New digital repository for reconnaissance data - Dec. 26th tsunami • Centralized archive with backup and preservation capabilities • User-friendly tools for searching / exploring / analyzing / extracting data • Curated by experts • Ability for community to add commentary • Developed as part of US NSF NEES program • George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) • Support efforts of IUGG Tsunami Commission data collection by providing archiving facility

  14. Tsunami Data Preservation Goals • Preserve key data 26 Dec tsunami • would otherwise be scattered or lost • In future, facility can preserve all tsunami data • Make data widely accessible via Web interface /tools • in ways that make sense to non-specialists • Add methods/tools compatible with emerging standards • so data can be cross- analyzed w/other sources

  15. How You Can Help? contact l.kong@unesco.org • Contribute relevant data from the international tsunami community • Maps and satellite imagery • Topographic and bathymetry data • Images and videos • Field measurements (inundation data, beach profiles, scour data, land uplift/subsidence, etc) • Post-event questionnaires and surveys • Recorded tsunami data (e.g., tide gauges) • Observations of damage to buildings and infrastructure • Eyewitness accounts and personal interviews • Casualties and other social impact statistics

  16. Delivering the Message:Building an Educated and Aware Public
