  3. Indian Ocean Where are we now? • A single system being planned • All countries of the Indian Ocean participate • Tsunami advisory information provided from centres in Hawaii and Tokyo. • National focal points designated in 25 nations • Governance of UN/IOC to be accepted in Paris • Full scope of the task recognized: multi-nation (28), multi-year (>3) • Beyond the emergency: transition to reconstruction and development phase. • Joint UN implementation: IOC, WMO, ISDR, UNDP, UN-ESCAP

  4. Milestone: 23rd Assembly IOC • Established Intergovernmental Coordination Group for the Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning System (ICG/IOTWS) (Resolution XXIII-12) • Secretariat to be hosted by Australia in Perth • Two Sessions in 2005: Technical: Perth, Australia, 3-5 August Capacity Building: Hyderabad, India, 12-16 December
