Система предупреждения о цунами и смягчения их последствий в Индийском океане

2019-02-25T01:17:50+00:00

Межправительственная координационная группа по Системе предупреждения о цунами и смягчения их последствий в Индийском океане (МКГ/СПЦИО) была создана после нашествия цунами 26 декабря 2004 г., унесшего жизни более 230 000 человек в регионе Индийского океана. Межправительственная океанографическая комиссия ЮНЕСКО (МОК ЮНЕСКО) получила от международного сообщества мандат по координации создания этой системы в ходе ряда международных и региональных совещаний, включая Всемирную конференцию по уменьшению опасности стихийных бедствий (Кобэ, Япония, 18-22 января 2005 г.) и Пхукетское совещание на уровне министров по региональному сотрудничеству, касающееся механизмов раннего предупреждения о цунами (Пхукет, Таиланд, 28 и 29 января 2005 г.). Ассамблея МОК своей резолюцией IOC-XXIII-12, принятой на ее двадцать третьей сессии (21-30 июня 2005 г.), официально учредила МКГ/СПЦИО.
