For more information, contact the ITIC (itic.tsunami@unesco.org) or its Director (Laura Kong, l.kong@unesco.org, laura.kong@noaa.gov) TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Real Time Earthquake Display (RTED) Tool – developed by US Geological Survey and the California Office of Emergency Services (California Integrated Seismic Network, CISN) with support from the US National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program . This GIS display provides real- time earthquake information as broadcast by the US Geological Survey National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) and includes tsunami information from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) and West Coast / Alaska Tsunami Warning Center (WC/ATWC) . The USGS NEIC serves as the World Data Center for Seismology. Available since 2005. 2. Tsunami Warning Operations: Sea Level Monitoring Ð Tide Tool and IOC Sea Level Monitoring Facility Tide Tool is an operations real-time monitoring tool developed and supported by PTWC for the decode, display, and manipulation of sea level data (coastal and DART deep-ocean stations) transmitted over the WMO Global Telecommunications System (GTS) and downloaded locally. The tool continuously decodes sea level in real-time and displays the time series on a computer screen, along with station status and metadata . Non-operational versions also exist for data transmissions through the internet and for archived data. Available since 2005. The IOC Sea Level Monitoring Facility, developed originally under the IOC IODE Project for the ODINAFRICA sea level network in 2006, is a web-based real-time monitoring tool for sea level stations globally. The URL is www.vliz.be/gauges/map.php . The tool provides sea-level data, station status and metadata, data plots, and other database services. This tool should be used with caution for operational purposes since timely web access cannot be guaranteed all over the globe during emergencies. Available since 2008. 3. PTWC Tsunami Messages: RANET Alert Watcher SMS text message The PTWC, through the RANET project, provides an SMS Heads-up alert to government authoritative tsunami warning and response agencies. The messages are brief in order to alert the recipient that official message (which is longer) has been sent. Available since 2005. 4. Tsunami Bulletin Board (TBB) The TBB is an email list serve that provides immediate sharing of tsunami information by and among tsunami professionals (scientists, researchers, emergency officials, and other officials). PTWC and WC/ATWC bulletins are immediately posted to TBB. Its purpose is to provide an open, objective scientific forum for the posting and discussion of tsunami news, information, and research. It is not open to the media or the general public, and is not intended for advertising or activities of a commercial nature. The TBB began in 1995.
