| Abstract |
The Sixth Meeting of the Working Group on Tsunamis and Other Hazards Related to Sea- Level Warning and Mitigation Systems (TOWS-WG-VI) was held in Paris, France, on 20 and 21 February 2013, at UNESCO Headquarters, under the chairmanship of Mr Yutaka Michida(IOC Vice-chairman). The meeting evaluated progress in actions and decisions taken by the Governing Bodies, mainly through Resolution XXVI-7 and Decision EC-XLV/Dec.3.2.The group recommended the IOC Assembly:-To extend the TOWS-WG for a further inter-sessional period, with the same mandate and membership;- To consider establishing the Inter-ICG Task Teams on Disaster Management and Preparedness and on Tsunami Watch Operations on a more regular basis with their revised TORs and composition proposed in ANNEX II;-To grant additional time for the TOWS-WG to develop Terms of Reference for the studies of data gap analysis and the conduct of these studies by the ICGs.The group recognized that the current financial situation strongly limits the implementation of the tasks of the Group, ICGs and Inter-ICG Task Teams and strongly urged the Member States to increase their extra-budgetary contributions to the IOC toprovide the needed resources for the priorities identified by TOWS-WG and ICGs.The group accepted the recommendations from the Task Team on Tsunami WatchOperations and requested the Task Team to implement them, in particular,-Finalize the documentation of areas of responsibilities;-Develop a standard questionnaire for post-event analysis in consultation with the Task Team on Disaster Management and Preparedness.The group requested the Inter-ICG Task Team on Tsunami Watch Operations to review the present status of issuing of tsunami advisories to shipping and recommend ways of enhancing dissemination in consultation with relevant organizations including WMO, IHO and IMO.The group strongly encouraged the Inter-ICG Task Team on Hazard Assessment Related to Highest Potential Tsunami Area to meet as soon as possible.The group agreed that the work on ‘Outreach and Communications Plan for the IOC Tsunami Programme’ should be implemented by the Group under the leadership of the Chair of ICG/IOTWS.The group requested that routine reporting on how the IOC tsunami alert list server is performing should be provided to the Group and that the Task Team on Tsunami Watch Operation will review what information goes on the list server and report to the Group. |
