Following the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, the ITIC compiled essential tsunami awareness materials to support government agencies, emergency managers, and educators. This DVD contains basic resources originally developed for the Pacific Tsunami Warning & Mitigation System (PTWS) in the 1990s-2000s, updated after 2004 to address tsunamis as a global hazard.
Materials like "Tsunami, the Great Waves," "Tsunami Warning!," and awareness posters are provided in customizable formats to meet local needs, cultures, and languages. The Tsunami Glossary 2008 is available upon request. You may freely use and modify these materials while retaining ITIC logos and credits, and adding your agency information. Please share your modified versions with us.
Files are available in PDF (low/high resolution), Word (.doc) for translation, and Adobe Illustrator (.ai) for design modifications. ITIC can assist with finalizing materials in the original layout design. Our goal is to provide all basic materials in English, French, and Spanish, with select resources in other languages contributed by Member States.
All materials are available by DVD upon request or downloadable from the ITIC website. Contact us at itic.tsunami@noaa.gov for additional requests or to contribute to our collection.
