1. Group 1 Warning and preparedness

2. Current Knowledge & Capacity Rapid earthquake solution okay Earthquake rupture mechanism capacity poor Deep ocean tsunami modeling okay Tide gauge network in IO poor Run-up modeling poor Have good expertise to build up the poor systems if resources available.

3. Current Knowledge & Capacity Warning systems for non-sudden impact disasters (cyclone, hail, etc) are good. Public preparedness for cyclones are good. Have expertise to build on these existing systems and apply them to Tsunami Early Warning System (TEWS) Have expertise in community awareness and education programs.

4. Gaps in Knowledge & Capacity Seismic networks currently inadequate for a TEWS Sea-level gauges very inadequate Real-time processing of seismic and sea level data inadequate No agreed false warning rate

5. Gaps in Knowledge & Capacity Systems for rapid dissemination of warnings are inadequate Public awareness of earthquake and tsunami risk in Australia very low Preparedness of emergency authorities to catastrophic sudden impact disasters unclear

6. Contribution to Region Lead in building systems for exchange of seismic and sea-level data Install seismic and sea-level stations on our territory. Install seismic and sea-level stations in IO countries. Has expertise to operate IOTEWS Has expertise in undertaking historical and paleo tsunami studies in IO Build framework for deploying scientists to effected regions

7. Contribution to Region Assist IO countries in developing appropriate education material Assist IO countries in developing education programs Provide training to emergency management agencies to build capacity Provide scientists to the region
