3. Accredited Tsunami Courses – USDHS FEMA National Disaster Preparedness Center FY10 NOAA Funding ($5K, ITIC staff resources in-kind + SeismicReady (G. Crawford) + NOAA PMEL (N. Arcos)) Issue and Challenge –Minimal sustained US training available on tsunami awareness to disaster response agencies with continual staff turnover. AWR-217 Tsunami Awareness (1-day, instructor-led) –Certified (December, 2010) –Target: Professionals with tsunami responsibility (govt, non-govt, private sector, response, planning, communities) –For delivery, contact NDPTC (Karl Kim, U/Hawaii, karlk@hawaii.edu)karlk@hawaii.edu What's next? request NTHMP feedback - consultation –Tsunami Awareness (1-day, web-based) ITIC identifying of pool of qualified instructors for certification –Managing Tsunami Risk (0.5-day for managers) ? –Conducting Tsunami Exercises (2-day for practitioners) ?

4. AWR-217 TSUNAMI AWARENESS 1.Hazard Assessment -What is a tsunami -What is the tsunami hazard to a community 2.Warning -What are tsunami warnings -How do they reach communities 3.Preparedness & Mitigation -How to reduce a tsunami’s impact on a community 4.Responding to Local & Distant Tsunamis -How to respond effectively to save lives -Why is response different for local vs distant tsunamis Module Learning Activities apply knowledge learned to real-world tsunami scenario (LANTEX /PACIFEX) Course Topics

6. 6 WHAT: Consolidated Resource/Training Toolkit New, existing materials Reliable, verified Training modules Web, offline tool WHY: Enable stakeholders to: Share existing body of research / good practice Choose, Adapt materials Build awareness Develop local responses for saving lives, mitigating impacts TsunamiTeacher (international)

7. 7 TARGET STAKEHOLDERS: Media, Education Systems Public (govt) / Private Sector CONTENT: School curricula Teacher guides, Classroom support materials Science, History, Events Disaster reduction / Risk management Legislative Frameworks Warning Systems Existing, developing new systems Mitigation: Preparedness, Alerting, Hazard Risk, Environmental/engineering, businesses, outreach TsunamiTeacher TsunamiTeacher

8. American Samoa, Guam, CNMI Outreach and TsunamiTeacher USA FY10 NHTMP Funding ($191K total; TsunamiTeacher ~$80K) Description: Develop USTT Yr 1 (compile, recommend, design). USTT will pull together wealth of US products into 1 resource / toolkit; USTT will develop new products to fill gaps Accomplishments – TsunamiTeacher USA: –Handouts: Assessment, Updates, General Public prototype –Assessment Report: Reviewed/identified US updates to intl TsunamiTeacher Identified General Public as US-needed target audience Adopt guidance from NRC Report Public Education (Ch 3) Created 1 prototype for General Public module (Tsunami Basics) –USTT to complement Trainings/Outreach Issues –Completion of USTT depends on NTHMP funding –Continual training and coordination needs in Pacific islands

9. US National Education/Training Programs Professional development trainings to U.S. audiences exist. Target professionals and volunteers. Examples: – NDPTC Tsunami Awareness Course – COMET’s Tsunami Warning System module – Washington State Emergency Management Division’s Tsunami Train-the-Trainer Course Identified Gap – National product: consistent / concise mg to general public – Use evidence-based approaches (Ch 3, NRC report), e.g. General Public Module - limit technical jargon, clear and concise, core action messages, portable format delivery – Also provide avenue to educate federal/state/local leadership in time sensitive jobs, e.g., when only limited time to convey essential info

10. Audience: General Public (6-12 th grade education level) Delivery: Fully narrated, with key risk info for effective response Features: Simple, visual, fast-moving. Short and concise (5-10 minutes) Special Needs: Hearing impaired, sight-impaired, Non-English speaking … Modes of Delivery – Formats: – Visual, Self-contained delivery – Traditional and Mobile delivery (general public’s increasing capacity to access Internet content via mobile devices). Social Networking networks Offline: downloadable in several formats (for DVD player, computer, online, iPhone/Droid, etc) Online viewing (through web, flash, uTube, etc) TsunamiTeacher USA Recommendations

11. Next Step: Create TsunamiTeacher USA Update and improve Current Modules to include US best practices – Media, Schools, Public (Govt, Non-Govt) and Private Sector Create General Public Module (6 th -12 th grade education level) – ID Topics (Tsunami & Earthquake) to include: request NTHMP input – Where possible, use existing products and materials – Regionalization? (HI & Pacific Islands, AK & West Coast, Atlantic & Gulf) Potential topics are: – Tsunami: Tsunami Basics, Tsunami Science, Warnings, Evacuation, Exercises, Boats / Harbors – Earthquake: Earthquake Basics, Earthquake Science, Monitoring/Locating/Sizing, Prediction – Earthquake and Tsunami Risk (regionalized) – All-Hazards and General Preparedness When Disaster Strikes are you prepared What can businesses do to prepare for tsunamis and earthquakes? How do physically-disabled persons prepare for tsunamis and earthquakes?

12. American Samoa, Guam, CNMI Outreach TsunamiTeacher USA FY10 NHTMP Funding ($191K total; TsunamiTeacher ~$80K) Description: Conduct tsunami outreach and capacity building; Develop US TsunamiTeacher Yr 1 (compile, recommend, design) Accomplishments - Outreach: –4 training trips to American Samoa –1 to Guam, 1 to CNMI –6 1-day Tsunami Awareness for stakeholders with response responsibility (NDPTC course) –Conduct Action-Action Review of 29 Sept with DHS/NWS Pago Pago – CISN and Tide Tool installed on operations computers; awareness materials provided; Issues –Continued Outreach depends on NTHMP funding –Continual training and coordination needs in Pacific islands

13. LANTEX 10 Outreach FY10 NTHMP Funding (WC/ATWC and ITIC ($2K)) Description: Conduct tsunami outreach to East Coast WFOs, EM agencies, first responders, port authorities, scientific and engineering agencies prior to LANTEX 2010 Accomplishments: –7 x 1-Day briefings from Maine to North Carolina in collaboration with WC/ATWC. –Built basic awareness of historic tsunamis that have impacted East Coast, identified potential future tsunami source regions and models, understanding of WC/ATWC products, development of emergency response plans and mitigation strategies. Issues –Continual challenge to elevate East coast tsunami awareness and planning.
