Estimated Propagation of Tsunami after the Sumatra Quake Tsunami-Propagation
3
Challenges of Tsunami Early Warning in Indonesia Subductionzone near the coastline of Indonesia (almost parallel) Traveltime of Tsunamis ~ 20 min Reliable Warnings have to be issued within 10 min. This defines most of the system design as: Distribution of seismic stations and GPS stations Location of marine equipment (Buoys and Ocean- Bottom-Units, Tide Gauges) Integration of Tsunami simulations Design of Warning Dissemination

UNESCO Framework Intergovernmental Coordination Group Coordination of national activities with the aim to define policies, protocols and standards for the establishment of an Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning System Working Groups: Seismology Ocean Instrumentation Tsunami Modelling and Risk Modelling Interoperability of National Warning Centres
10
Outlook Instrumentation almost complete and operational within the next 2-3 years, including national warning centres Needs Reference architecture for the overall system Operating infrastructures for dissemination of warnings Platform for the interoperability and interaction between national Warning Centres
