Presentation Outline
• TsunamiTeacher USA update• USDHS FEMA NDPTC Certified Tsunami
Courses update• Training and Technical Assistance:
American Samoa, Guam, CNMI LANTEX10 East Coast
• New / Revised Tsunami Awareness Materials and Products

Accredited Tsunami Courses – USDHS FEMANational 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, [email protected])
• 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) ?
AWR-217 TSUNAMI AWARENESSAWR-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
community4. 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

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

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
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
• Audience: General Public (6-12th 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
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 (6th-12th 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 preparedWhat can businesses do to prepare for tsunamis and earthquakes?How do physically-disabled persons prepare for tsunamis and earthquakes?
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
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.
Tsunami Awareness Materials – publication and printing
• FY10 NOAA Funding ($82K) and International Funding ($8K)
• Description: Update existing and develop new awareness products; Duplicate materials
• Printing Accomplishments
• Existing Materials: Tsunami Warning! Cartoon Book [20K], Surviving Tsunamis (1960 Chile) [40K], Tsunami Great Waves [75K], Tsunami Glossary [25K]
• New Materials: Earthquakes / Tsunami / Volcanic Eruptions posters [2K per set], Tsunami icosohedron globe maps [50K], Where the First Wave Arrives in Minutes (2004, 2006 Indonesia) [40K]; Tonga Tsunami Survivor Stories (partial); pens/pencils/clips/stickers
• New Materials Distributed to various NTHMP states and territories
• Issues
– Additional funds needed for new materials and for mailing from Hawaii to customers

ITIC – NGDC Collaboration
• FY10 NOAA Funding ($8K for ITIC)• Description: Collaborate to improve tsunami historical
database (quality and usefulness)• Accomplishment
– TsuDig standalone GIS tsunami database tool (v1.1)– 3 posters (Tsunami, EQ, Volcano)– Tsunami Sources - Icosohedron– IOC Post-Tsunami Field Survey Guide revision (data archiving
process); ITIC archives digitization (start)
• Issues– Technical Development of useful products for customers
