1. BACKGROUND The devastating impact of the 26 December 2004 Indonesia earthquake and Indian Ocean tsunami tragically demonstrated what can ha ppen without an effect ive tsunami warning system. Tsunamis may not occur often but when they do they can affect coasts, so metimes across an entire ocean, within minutes to hours. With little warning, the 2004 tsunami caused damage an d casualtie s across t he entire Indian Ocean basin. F ollowing th at event, UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) formed the Intergovernmental Coordination Group for the Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System (ICG/IOTWS) t o promote t he exchange of seismic and sea level data f or rapid tsunami det ection and analysis, to provide warnings for such event s and to coordinate mitigation e fforts among its Member States. An efficient and effect ive warning system is needed that can react 24 hours a day to any potential t sunami threat and that can then act quickly from end-to-end to alert those at risk along coasts and motivate them take immediate and appropriate steps to save their lives. At the Fifth Session of the ICG/IOTWS (8-10 April 2008 in Putrajaya, Malaysia), the Member States reco mmended t hat an India n Ocean-wide tsunami exercise be carried out in 2009 with results compiled and a report prepared before the next meeting of the ICG in 2010. The ICG established an ad -hoc Task Team to co nsider and provide a d etailed pla n for the proposed Indian Ocean 2009 Exercise and to report back to the ICG. T he ICG agreed that membership of the Task Team would be Australia, France (La Reunion), India, Indonesia, Kenya, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and other interested Member States and decided that Indonesia would be Chair, with Australia, Kenya and Thailand as Vice-Chairs. Exercise IOWave09 will be an effective tool fo r evaluating the readiness of the IOTWS and for identifying changes t hat can improve its efficiency. Ocean-wide tsunamis do n ot occur frequently in the Indian Ocean but the IOTWS must be prepared, and exercises of this kind will help to maintain the requisite level of preparedness.

1.1 Exercise Dates Exercise IOWave09 will take place on 14 th Oc tober 2009 to coincide with World Disaster Reduction Day. To ensure that th e NTWCs in each country are fully prepared for the exercise, a tabletop exercise will be run on 14 th September using the same scenario that will be used on 14th October. There will thus be 2 stages to Exercise IOWave09:

1. 14th September 2009 – Tabletop Exercise

Who should be involved?: National Tsunami Warning Centres; National Disaster Management Organisations; Local Disaster Managemen t Organisations, to the extent decided by each Member State.

Scenario: North Sumatra earthquake of 26th December 2004 Start time: 0800hrs UTC Timescale: At NTWC’s discretion 2. 14th October 2009 – Functional Exercise

Who should be involved?: National Tsunami Warning Centres; National Disaster Management Organisations; local communities, to the exte nt decided by each Member State.

Scenario: North Sumatra earthquake of 26th December 2004 Start time: 0100hrs UTC Timescale: Real-time

1.2 Further Information Further information will be posted to the website www.ioc-unesco.org/iowave09 as it becomes available.

2. CONCEPT OF EXERCISE IOWave09

2.1 Purpose The purpose of Exercise IOWave09 is t o ev aluate and improve the effectivene ss of the IOTWS, its operational Regional Tsunami Wa tch Providers (RTWP), National Tsunami Warning Centres (NTWC), and National Disast er Management Organ isations (NDMO), in responding to a potentia lly destructive tsunami. The exercise will provid e an opport unity for Indian Ocean countrie s to test their operational lines of communi cations, review their tsunami warning and emergency response sta ndard operating proced ures, and to promot e emergency preparedness. Regular exercises are importa nt for maint aining staff readiness for the real event. This is especially true for tsunamis, which are infrequent but require rapid response when they occur. The pre-exercise planning and post-exercise evaluation process is as important as the a ctual exercise, because it brings to gether all stakeholders to closely coordinate their actions. Every Indian Ocean country is encouraged to participate.

2.2 Objectives The following are the over-arching objectives for IOWave09: 1. Validate the international Tsunami Watch [or Advisory] Centres’ dissemination process of

issuing Tsunami Watch Bulletins to Indian Ocean countries. a. Interim Advisory Service (IAS) PTWC and JMA bulletins to IOTWS NTWCs b. RTWP bulletins to other RTWPs (NB, NTWCs will NOT receive these bulletins)

2. Validate the process of countrie s r eceiving an d confirmin g Tsunami Bulletins thr ough their designated Tsunami Watch Focal Points (TWFP).

3. Validate dissemination of warning messages to relevant agencies within a country. 4. Validate the organisational decision-making process for public warnings and evacuations. 5. Identify the methods that would be used to notify and instruct the public. 6. Assess the elapsed time for public notification and instruction. Within the above framework, each country should develop its own specific objectives for the exercise.

2.3 Regional Tsunami Watch Provider (RTWP) Participation Three RTWPs (Australi a, India and Indonesia) will be parti cipating in Exercise IOWave0 9 and will share experimental Service Level 2 (S L2) bul letins be tween themselves only. However the RTWPs will provide d etails of their SL2 bulletins 1 or 2 weeks before the main exercise on 14 th October. These will be cir culated to the NTWCs for information only and should not be used during Exercise IOWave09. The purpose of sharing this information is to provide NT WCs with e xamples of the types of products that are being developed by the RTWPs and to invite feedback and comments.

2.4 Types Of Exercise Exercises stimulate the developmen t, training, testing and evaluation of Disaster Plans and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). Exercise participa nts may use their own past multi-hazard drills (e.g. floo d, typhoon, earthquake , etc.) as a framework to conduct Exercise IOWave09.

Exercise IOWave09 should be conducted to a level of read iness that involves communication and decision making at Government level, wit hout disrupting or alarming the general public. Individual countries may at their discretion ele ct to extend the exercise down to the level of public notification and community evacuation. Exercises can be conducted at various scales of magnitude and sophistication. The following list provides on overview of the different types of exercises that can be conducted:

1. An Orienta tion Exercise lays the groundwork for a comprehensive exercise programme. It is a pla nned event, developed to bring t ogether individuals and officials with a role or interest in multi-hazard r esponse pla nning, problem solving, development of standar d operation al procedur es (SOPs), and resource integratio n and coordin ation. An Orientation Exercise will have a specific goal and writte n objectives and result in an agreed upon Plan of Action.

2. A Drill is a planned activity that tests, develops, and/or maintains skills in a single or

limited emergency response procedure. Drills generally involve operational response of single departments or agencies, organizations, or facilities, but may be a subset of full-scale exercises. Drills can involve inte rnal notifications and/or field activities. Limited evacuation may or may not be conducted, such as within a school, pilot hotel, or village.

3. A Tabletop Exercise is a planne d activity in which loca l officia ls, key staff, and

organizations with disaster management responsibilities are presented with simulated e mergency situations. I t is u sually informal, in a confer ence room environment, and is designed to elicit constructive discussion from the participants to assess plans, policies, and procedures. Ind ividuals are encourage d to discu ss decisions based on their organizatio n’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) wit h emphasis on slow-paced problem solving, ra ther than rapid, real time decisio n-making. A Tabletop Exercise sho uld have specif ic goals, objectives, and a scenario narrative. See Appendix IV for a more detailed description of Tabletop Exercises.

4. A Functional Exercise is a planned activity designed to test and evaluate individual

functions, multiple activit ies within a function, or interdependent groups of functions among various agencies. It is based on a simulation of a realistic emergenc y situation. T he Functio nal Exercise gives th e decision- makers a f ully simulat ed experience of being in a major disaster event. It should take place at the appropriate coordination locations (eg. Warning centres and emergency operations centres) and activate all t he appropriate members designate d by the pla n. Organisat ions should test their SOPs using real time simulation tsun ami bulletins. Public evacuations may or may not be included. A Functional Exercise should have specific goals, objectives, and a scenario narrative.

5. A Full-scale Exercise is the culmination of a progressive exercise programme that

has grown with the capacity of the communit y to conduct exercises. A Full-Scale exercise is a planned activity in a “challengin g” environment that encompasses a majority of the tsunami warning and emergency management functions, and involves multiple layers of gove rnment (nat ional, provincial, loca l). This type of exercise involves the actual mob ilization and deploymen t of the app ropriate per sonnel and resources needed to demonstrate operati onal capab ilities. DMOs (Disast er Management Office) and other local command centres are required to be activated. It tests all aspects of e mergency response, a nd should demonstrate inter-agen cy cooperation. A Full-scale exercise is the largest, costliest and most complex exercise type. It may or may not include public evacuations.

Example Time Frames for Different Exercise Types Style Planning

Period Duration Comments

Orientation Exercise 2 weeks 1 day Individual or mixed groups Drill 2 days 1 day Individual technical groups generally Tabletop Exercise 2 weeks 1-3 days Single or multiple agency Functional Exercise 1-2 months 1-5 days Multiple Agency participation Full-scale Exercise 2-6 months 1 day/week Multiple Agency (National and

International) For Exercise IOWave09, a tab letop exercise will be conducted on 14 th Septembe r and its main purpose is to be a rehearsal fo r the main e xercise on 14th October. Individual Member States should decide what type of exercise they are going to undertake on 14 th October. A tabletop exercise should be condu cted as a min imum. Many Member States will choose to conduct a functional exercise and some may decide to undertake a full-scale exercise. Each of these requires an increasing level of p lanning and prepar ation, particularly if any form of community evacuation is planned, and Member States are advised to conduct the exercise only to the level for which they are fully prepared.

3. SPECIFICS OF CONDUCTING EXERCISE IOWAVE09

3.1 Tabletop Exercise on 14th September In preparation for the f unctional exercise on 1 4th October 2009, a tabl etop exercise will b e conducted on 14th September starting at 0800 UTC. The scenario will be exactly th e same as for the functional exercise on 14th October, described below. The aim of the exercise is to familiarise participants with the stakeholder responsibilities and individual a ctions p lanned for the main exercise to be he ld on 14 th October 2009, and to provide an opportunity for participa nts to evalu ate their SOPs for tsuna mi warnings prior t o the functional exercise. To start the exercise, a dummy bulletin will be issued by the IAS providers via email, fax and GTS to all NTWCs, as shown below:

PARTICIPANTS IN THE EXERCISE SHOULD REFER TO THE INDIAN OCEAN WAVE 09 EXERCISE MANUAL FOR THE SEQUENTIAL JMA BULLETINS. THIS IS ONLY AN EXERCISE. Following receipt of the initial b ulletins, the NTWCs will refer to Appendix II (PTWC messages) and Appendix III (JMA messages) for sequential bulletins. Except for the dummy messages shown above, the tsunami bulletins will NOT be issued through email, fax or GTS. Member States should run the exercise to its conclusion at their own pace and the timing of bulletin injects can be compressed at the NTWCs’ discretion. Suggested procedures for implementing the tabl etop exercise are outlined in Appendix IV. Member States may wish to extend or modify the exercise according to their needs.

Following the tabletop exercise, participants are encouraged to complete a self evaluation similar to th at suggeste d in Appendix IV. Although there is no formal evaluation process planned following the tabletop exercise, Member States may wish to provide feedback to the ICG/IOTWS Secretariat at [email protected].

3.2 Overview of Main Exercise on 14th October Following the recommendation from ICG/IOTWS-VI, there will be a s ingle exercise scenario played out in real time. The scenario will replicate the maj or earthquake off the northwest coast of Sumatra on 26 December 2004 that g enerated a destructive tele-tsunami affecting countries from Australia to South Africa over the course of about 17 hours. The IAS providers will issue bu lletins for thi s exercise to all IOTWS NTWCs. RT WPs will exchange bulletins bet ween themselves only. The timeline for issuance of IAS bulletins on 14th October is given in Table 1. WMO GT S product identif iers for the bulletins are given i n Table 2. Participant countries may follow the exercise timeline precisely or elect to exercise on their own timeline in order to achieve their particu lar objectives. For example, a p articular country’s exercise contr oller may ch oose to inje ct the bulletins into the exercise at times of their own choosing, or alternatively put them in envelopes with the time they must be opened written on each, with each key participant age ncy having their own set of envelopes. All bulletins, provided in advance in Appendices I-IV, will facilitate this approach. Coverage. All Member States are encouraged to participate. Estimated tsunami arrival times to all IOTWS countries are included in the IAS bulletins. Messages. The initial b ulletins to start the exercise will b e issued by the IAS providers , although some countries close to t he source may issue their own internal bulletins before this. To avoid any possible misinterpretation, bulletins issued by the IAS will be in a “dummy” exercise message format similar to the tabletop exercise message format shown abo ve and as shown in Appendix I that will ref er participants to a specific scenar io bulletin number in this exercise manual (in Appendices II – III) . Dummy messages will be issue d f or each simulated real messag e and will continue to be issued until the si mulated tsunami has crossed the entire Indian Ocean and the exercise concludes.

3.3 Exercise Specifics The Scenario . The simulated tsuna mi will be g enerated by a magnitud e 9.2 earthquake off the northwest coast of Sumatra at 3.30ºN, 95.96ºE that occurs on October 14, 2009 a t 0100UTC. An earthquake of this size would be likely to generate a tsunami with widespread destructive effects. Bulletins will be issued in real time for approximately 12 hours until the tsunami is simulated to have crossed the entire Indian Ocean.

3.5 Actions in case of a real event All documentation and correspondence relating to this exer cise is to be clearly identified as Indian Ocean Wave 0 9 Exercise and For Exercise Purposes Onl y. In the ca se of a real event occurring during the exercise, IAS and NTWCs/RTWPs will issue th eir normal message products for the event. Such messages will be given full priority and a decision will be made by each centre whether to continue or cease their participation in the exercise.

3.6 Resourcing Although participating countries will have adva nce notice of the exercise and may elect to stand up a special dedicated shift to allow normal core business to continue uninterrupted, it is suggested that realistic resource levels be deployed in order to reflect some of the issues that are likely to be faced in a real event.

3.7 Media Arrangements The UNESCO Bureau of Public Infor mation will issue an international Media Advisory in late September or early October to alert the press o f the 14 Oct ober "Indian Ocean Wave 2009 Exercise." About one week before the exercise, UNESCO wi ll issue a second press release with more details on the exercise. Appendix V contains a sample press release that can be customized by Member States. ICG/IOTWS Member States should consider issuing one or two exercise press rele ases to their respective country’s media in conjunc tion with UNESCO releas es. Member States press rele ases will giv e adequate alert to th eir country’s populat ion and give their local media time to conduct interviews and d ocumentaries with participating exercise organizations in advance of the exercise. A second Member State press release, one week before the exercise, would provide a more detailed description of exercise activities to take place within that country.

4. POST EVALUATION

4.1 Evaluation and Debriefing All participa ting countries are requested to provide feedback on the exercise by 1 4 November 2009. This feedback will greatly assist in the evaluation of Indian Ocean Wave 09 Exercise and assist in the development of subsequent exercises. The goal of exercise evaluation is to validate strengths and to identify opportunities for improvement within the participating organisations. This is t o be accomplished by collating supporting data; analysing the da ta to compare effectiv eness against require ments; and determining what changes need to be made b y participating organiza tions as well as the IOTWS as a collective to support effective tsunami warning and decision making.

Evaluation of this exercise will fo cus on the adequacy of plans, p olicies, pro cedures, assessment capabilit ies, communication, re sources and inter-agen cy/inter-jurisdictional relationships that supp ort effective tsunami warning and decision-making at a ll levels of government. Participant s that cho ose to include additio nal objectiv es, for exa mple by exercising p ublic warnin g and/or re sponse p lans, can expand the evaluation acco rdingly. The evaluation of such additional o bjectives will be for the use of the particular par ticipant only and is not required for the integrated IOTWS report. The evaluation aims to i nform and facilitate individual participant country evaluations as well as the inte grated IOWave09 Rep ort. Offici al Exercise Evaluation Forms addressing the respective focus areas and objectives are inclu ded in Appendix VI. All participant countries are requested to complete the official Exercise Evaluation Forms and return only those forms back to the ICG/IOTWS Secretariat by 14 November 2009. A formal exercise debrief inclusive of all parti cipants in the respective countries will facilitate a collective and official evaluation. The metho d applied to collect th e data required for consideration in the debrief is to be decided upon by the individual participant countries. It is recommended that independent and objective exercise evaluators/observers be appointed at all exercise points to support the collect ion of such data. Evaluators/observers are to be guided by t he exercise objectives and the inform ation req uired in the Exercise Evaluation Forms. In completing evaluation forms, p articipating organizations must have the ability to note areas for improve ment and actio ns that the y plan to take without concern t hat the information carries political or opera tional risks. Thus, all official Exercise Evaluation Forms are designated as “For Official Use Only” and will be restricted for use by the e xercise Task Team for t he sole purpose of compilation of the integrated IOW ave09 Rep ort. Some participant countries may howe ver decide to share their individual evaluation outcomes with the public. While the I OWave09 Report will be submitted to the IOC, the decision to share the information contained in it with the public will be made by the ICG/IOTWS.

APPENDIX IV. SAMPLE GUIDANCE FOR TABLETOP EXERCISES

Tabletop Exercise Development Steps Source: US California Office of Emergency Services, with modifications from Indonesian

Institute of Earth Sciences (LIPI) and RISTEK A Tabletop Exercise is a planned activity in which loca l officials, key staff, and organizations with disast er manage ment responsibilitie s a re present ed with simulated emergenc y situations. It is usua lly informal and slow paced, in a conf erence room environment , and is designed to elicit constructive discussion from the participants to assess plans, policies, and procedures. Participants will exami ne and attempt to resolve problems, based o n existing plans and procedures. Individuals are encou raged to discuss d ecisions in dep th based o n their organization’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), with empha sis on slo w-paced problem solving, rather than rapid, real time decision-making. An Exercise Controller ( moderator) introduces a simulated t sunami scenario to p articipants via written message, simulated telephone or radio call, or by other means. Exercise problems and activitie s (inje cts) are furth er introduced. Particip ants condu ct group discussions, and resolu tion is gene rally agreed upon, and then summarized by a group leader. A Tabletop Exercise should have specific goals, objectives, and a scenario narrative. The following provides a Tabletop Exercise structure with sample text and example.

1. Vulnerability Analysis: Problem Statement

An example for a tsunami might be: Due to the recent tsunami that occurred in the Northwest region of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam, an awareness of the threat risk involved in these disasters has become more apparent, therefore the need for an effective evacuation system is vital. The province of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam continues its ongoing tasks of planning, preparing, and training for Tsunami preparedness.

2. Purpose (Mission): Intent, what you plan to accomplish (Policy Statement)

An example for a tsunami might be: The province of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam has recognised the need for a more efficient and effective evacuation system, and is responding with this Comprehensive Exercise Plan. These events will include seminars, workshops, tabletop exercise, functional and full-scale exercises within a 18 month time frame.

3. Scope: Exercise Activities Agencies Involved Hazard Type Geographic Impact Area

An example might be: Emergency Services coordinators at local levels of government will identify representative jurisdictions to participate in a series of disaster preparedness exercises. They will develop a progressive series of exercises. The process will begin with a vulnerability analysis for each jurisdiction and continue through a progression of exercise activities including; orientation seminars, workshops, tabletop and functional exercises. The

65


66

eventual objective of these activities will be to reduce disaster impacts to their populations and city infrastructure Steps for corrective actions will be made a part of the after action process and report. Surrounding jurisdictions in the mutual aid area will act as exercise design team members, exercise evaluators, or exercise observers for the purpose of information transfer to increase their operational readiness.

4. Goals and Objectives:

Criteria for good objectives: Think SMART • Simple (concise) • Measurable • Achievable (can this be done during the exercise?) • Realistic (and challenging) • Task Oriented (oriented to functions) An example might be: Comprehensive Exercise Program (CEP) Objectives • To improve operational readiness • To improve multi-agency coordination and response capabilities for effective disaster response • To identify communication pathways and problem areas pre-event between local jurisdictions and operational area, regional and state emergency operations centres • To establish uniform methods for resource ordering, tracking and supply for agencies involved at all levels of government.

5. Narrative: The Narrative should describe the following: • Triggering emergency/disaster event • Describe the environment at the time the exercise begins • Provides necessary background information • Prepares participants for the exercise • Discovery, report: how do you find out? • Advance notice? • Time, location, extent or level of damage

6. Evaluation: The Evaluation should describe the following: • Objectives Based • Train Evaluation Teams • Develop Evaluation Forms

7. After Action Report (AAR): The AAR should be compiled using the evaluation reports 8. Improvement Plan (IP): The IP should reduce vulnerabilities.


Tabletop Exercise Example

Risk Reduction Strategies to Improve Tsunami Response Planning - A Tabletop Exercise (modified from an example presented by the Pacific Disaster Centre, May

2005)

A recent Tsunami scenario will be presented to generate discussion of direct and indirect impacts upon coastal communities. Participants will be encouraged to share challenges, successes, and lessons learned in responding to tsunamis, and to explore short- and long term actions to improve warning processes. Facilitated discussions and group activities will focus on meeting informational needs and communicating disaster risk through the use of available tools, applications, and information resources, and how these may contribute to the development of effective early warning-risk management strategies. Exercise Objectives

1. Increase understanding of the tsunami hazard and its impacts on coastal environment.

2. Exercise existing procedures and processes related to Early Tsunami Warnings 3. Identify critical decision points, resources, and informational needs, as well as Gaps. 4. Review of communicate protocol for warning. 5. Review procedures and protocols for issuing “All Clear”.

Exercise Outline

Exercise Introduction Divide into groups Introduction – Earthquake to Tsunami Generation to Tsunami Impacts Exercise Phase 1 An earthquake of magnitude 9.2 has occurred 75 miles (120 kilometres) off the coast of Sumatra. People in high rise buildings in Jakarta are reporting buildings shaking, (additional information) Groups work on actions to be taken, report out. Exercise Phase 2 - Tsunami Watch Issued The Interim Advisory Service (IAS) has issued a Tsunami Watch for coastal areas within 3 - 6 hours arrival time of the Tsunami. Groups work on action to be taken (government agencies, media and public), report out. Exercise Phase 3 - Tsunami Warning Issued IAS has issued a Tsunami Watch for coastal areas within 3 hours arrival time of the Tsunami. Groups work on action to be taken (government agencies, media and public), report out. Exercise Phase 4 - Tsunami impact and Situation Assessment Resources for damage assessment Deployment of disaster relief Managing the information requests and requirements (government agencies, media, and public) Monitoring Aftershocks for potential tsunami generation Group work, report out. Concluding Discussion What are the gaps - critical decision points, information and resource needs? How do you communicate to impacted areas?

INDIAN OCEAN-WIDE TSUNAMI DRILL SET FOR OCTOBER (insert country name) will join over (insert number) other countries around the Indian Ocean Rim as a pa rticipant in a mock tsuna mi scenario during 14th October 2009. The pur pose of this Indian Ocean-wide exercise is to increase preparedness, evaluate response capabilities in each country and improve coordination throughout the region. “The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami brought to the attention of the world the urgent need to be more prepared for such events,” sa id (insert name of appropriate official). “This im portant exercise will test the current procedures of the Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning System and help identify operational strengths and weaknesses in each country.” The exercise, titled Exercise Indian Ocean Wave 2009 (IOWAVE 09), will simulate Indian Ocean countries being put into a Tsunami Warn ing situation requiring government decision-making. It is the first such exercise of its kind in the Indian Ocean and builds on prior national tsunami warning drill carried out in (dates) (delete if not applicable). The exercise can be d ivided into two stages. In the fir st stage, a d estructive t sunami crossing the Indian Ocean from an earthquake source near Aceh-Suma tra will be simulated by international notifications from the Interim Advisory Service providers, Japan Meteorology Agency (JMA) and Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC). Bulletins will be transmitted b y JMA and PTWC to de signated Tsunami Warning Focal Points in each country who are responsible for national tsunami response. In the seco nd stage, conducted simultaneously in response to receip t of the inte rnational messages and any national tsun ami detecti on, analysi s, and fore casting capabilities, government officials will simulate de cision-making and alerting procedur es down to the last step before public not ification. Notification of emergency management and response authorities for a single coastal community will be used as a measure of the end-to end process for purposes of this exercise. Due care will be taken to ensure the public is not inadvertently alarmed. (delete if not applicable) Insert paragraph tailored for specific country. Could identify participating agencies and specific plans. Could describe current early warning programme, past evacuation drills (if any), ongoing mitigation and public education programmes, etc. Could describe tsunami threat, history of tsunami hazards, if any. Should any actual t sunami threat occur during t he time period of the ex ercise, 14 October 2008, the drill will be terminated. Following the exercise, a review and evaluation will be conducted by all participants. “We see this exercise as an esse ntial element in the routine maintenance of the Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning and Mitig ation System,” said (insert name of appropriate official).

APPENDIX VI. POST EXERCISE EVALUATION EXERCISE OBJECTIVES There are six core objectives of the exercise:

1. Validate the Interim Advisory Services ’ dissemination proce ss of issuing Tsunami Watch and Warning Bulletins to Indian Ocean countries.

2. Validate the standard operating procedures fo r countries to receive and confirm Tsunami Bulletins.

3. Validate dissemination standard o perating procedures o f warning messages to relevant Agencies within a country, provinces and local jurisdictions.

4. Validate th e organizational decision making process ab out public warnings and evacuations.

5. Identify the modes that would be employed to notify and instruct the public. 6. Assess the elapsed time until public would be notified and instructed.

EXERCISE SUCCESS CRITERIA The exercise will be a success when: • The core objectives above were exercised, performance evaluated and reported upon. • The dynamics between the National Tsunami Warning Centres, Tsunami Warning Focal

Points and information dissemination points within countries at the onset of a local, regional or distant source tsunami event are illustrated and understood. Local / regional / distant tsunamis are generated within 100 / 1000 / beyond 1000 kilometres respectively of an earthquake source. The nature of a local, regional, or distant source tsunami event and related information available (warning stage) are illustrated and understood.

• Areas where aspects of warnings for a local, regional, or distant source tsunami event can be improved are identified, both for tsunami warning centres and individual countries.

• It supports the establishment or review of planning for response to tsunamis at national and regional/local levels.

EVALUATING PARTICIPANT PERFORMANCE Evaluation is based on:

(a) Reporting on each of the core objectives described above.

=============================================================== Earthquake Parameters (Revised)




A tsunami is a series of waves and the first wave may not be the largest. Tsunami wave heights cannot be predicted and can vary significantly along a Coast due to local effects. The time from one tsunami wave to the next can be five minutes to an hour, and the threat can continue for many hours as multiple waves arrive. For all areas - when no major waves are observed for two hours after the estimated time of arrival or damaging waves have not occurred for at least two hours then local authorities can assume that the threat has passed. Danger to boats and Coastal structures can continue for several hours due to rapid currents, as local conditions can cause a wide variation in tsunami wave action.

Advice:

1. All clear determination must be made by local authorities. This will be the final bulletin unless additional information becomes available. This report supersedes any earlier reports about this event. This event has been reviewed by a seismologist. Elapsed Time: This Earthquake happened 11 Hours, 45 Minutes, 02 Seconds ago
