2. 2 Communications Plan for Interim Advisory Information System for the Indian Ocean Region, vers 16 Jan 2006 Communications Plan for Interim Advisory Information System for the Indian Ocean Region, vers 16 Jan 2006 Interim advisories by PTWC, JMA Interim advisories by PTWC, JMA 10-20 min after earthquake based on seismic information 10-20 min after earthquake based on seismic information As sea level stations are installed, advisories based on tsunami confirmation to be issued As sea level stations are installed, advisories based on tsunami confirmation to be issued Consistent format and wording of message Consistent format and wording of message Consistent reporting of earthquake location and magnitude Consistent reporting of earthquake location and magnitude Communications Test 4x/year Communications Test 4x/year TWC requests confirmation that links working JMA – 5 December 2005 Summary only 45% acknowledge response

3. 3 Information Feeds (currently PTWC, but expand to other warning centers for cyclones, etc.) RANET Servers (receive messages and process to ensure security, backup, and place in appropriate SMS format) Commercial Gateway (near ‘global’ coverage where cell phone or satellite phone services exist) RANET – ITIC - PTWC Tsunami Alerts SMS/Cell Phone Text Messaging – 1 Mar 2005

4. 4 What the SMS system IS NOT: - Not meant to replace existing and formal/official means of communicating alerts or critical information. - Not meant to become the sole means of receiving critical alert information – warnings and communication should come through a ‘layered’ approach. - Not meant to be mass-public communication system for national official / disaster managers, international organizations needing to be notified - Coverage: Africa, IO, Pacific, Central America - Pilot - contact l.kong@unesco.org, raw-sma@ranetproject.net l.kong@unesco.orgraw-sma@ranetproject.net RANET – ITIC - PTWC Tsunami Alerts SMS/Cell Phone Text Messaging
