The Bandung Institute of Technology in Indonesia and the University of Huddersfield in the UK are leading a study into the interface between upstream-downstream of tsunami early warning systems. The initial study will examine the interfaces at the national level in Sri Lanka and Indonesia, with a view to extending the study to cover all 28 countries in the Indian Ocean.
The Universities are working closely with the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) and Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysical Agency (BMKG) in Indonesia, the University of Colombo, the Federation of Sri Lankan Local Government Authorities (FSLGA), the Disaster Management Centre, the Ministry of Disaster Management, and the Department of Meteorology in Sri Lanka, and the Asian Disaster Preparedness Centre (ADPC) and IOC – UNESCO ICG/IOTWMS at the regional/international levels.
