TEMPP 1

PILOT COURSE: TSUNAMI EVACUATION MAPS, PLANS, AND PROCEDURES (TEMPP 1) / Mapas, planes y procedimientos de evacuacion en caso de tsunami

27 - 31 July 2015, Comayagüela, F.M, Honduras



The five TEMPP training workshops cover the following topics:
•Tsunami Modeling (use of ComMIT software), July 27-31, 2015
•Tsunami Seismic Sources and Tsunami Inundation Map Development (based on prior ComMIT training), February 29 – March 3, 2016
•Tsunami Evacuation Mapping (based on inundation maps), August 15-19, 2016
•Tsunami Response Plans and Exercises, November 7-11, 2016
•Tsunami Exercise (including evacuation), expected November / December 2016

The ITIC, with NOAA’s Caribbean Tsunami Warning Program (CTWP), and the UNESCO IOC are organizing the trainings. The language of trainings will be Spanish. Course materials will be in both Spanish and English.

TEMPP emphasizes a team approach for building country tsunami preparedness.
Each TEMPP training builds from the previous training, and it is assumed that once trained, participants will share the information learned on return to their country. A TEMPP country team should be comprised of, at a minimum, all participants to the TEMPP trainings. It should include scientists (responsible for tsunami hazard risk assessment and tsunami inundation modeling), GIS experts (responsible for making maps), emergency managers (responsible for tsunami public safety and preparedness), and tsunami warning center staff (responsible for issuing warnings for during events).

The "Basic Tsunami Preparedness: Tsunami Evacuation Plans, Maps and Procedures" pilot course will train countries to prepare tsunami evacuation maps based on science and community needs. Globally standardized tools and methodologies will be applied in the course. The first training will cover tsunami modelling for flood mapping. Topics covered will include tectonic plates, tsunami science, bathymetry and topography grids, seismic source parameters, forecasting methodology, tsunami modeling, tsunami hazard assessment, and the use of the MOST model and ComMIT tool.
