2-Year
Target
Set of
provided
Tasks
by IOC
Advocate expansion of seismic monitoring networks, plus expansion of the
present network of ocean-bottom pressure sensors, and upgrade existing global
networks (e.g. the GSN) so that all critical instruments relay data in real time, in
support of better tsunami warning worldwide.
Task 1
Facilitate immediately (6 months) upgrading of the existing
Tsunami detection networks in Indian Ocean.
Task 2
Contribute to the design of the Tsunami early warning systems in
Indian Ocean and expand to global coverage.
Task 3
Contribute to the elaboration of preparedness
plan/vulnerability maps using EO and GIS techniques.
