Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System Factsheet (2019)

Noting the 15th anniversary of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, the Intergovernmental Coordination Group for the Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System (ICG/IOTWMS) has published a new version of its factsheet. This reflects significant advancements in the system since the previous factsheet was released in 2015.

The 2019 IOTWMS factsheet includes information on the terms of reference, membership and governance of the ICG as well as details of the earthquake and sea-level monitoring networks, area of service and earthquake source zones. New additions to the factsheet include the operational websites of the National Tsunami Warning Centres of IOTWMS Member States, details of tsunamis in the Indian Ocean since 2004, and an overview of the UNESCO-IOC Tsunami Ready initiative.
