Regional Training on the UNESCO/IOC Tsunami Ready Recognition Programme
Summary

In June 2021, the IOC Assembly approved, through IOC Decision A-31/3.4.1(III) (Warning Mitigation Systems for Ocean Hazards), the development of an IOC Ocean Decade Tsunami Programme (ODTP) in the framework of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030).  In June 2022, the IOC Executive Council at its 55th session, took a major step towards one of the major objectives of ODTP to “make 100% of communities at risk of tsunami prepared for and resilient to tsunamis by 2030” by approving the implementation of the UNESCO-IOC Tsunami Ready Recognition Programme (UNESCO-IOC TRRP) and similar initiatives (Decision EC-55/3.5.1(IV)). The UNESCO-IOC TRRP is a key contribution to achieving the societal outcome of the ‘Ocean Decade: ‘A Safe Ocean where life and livelihoods are protected from ocean-related hazards’.  Through IOC Circular Letter 2896, Member States were invited to implement the UNESCO-IOC TRRP. 
 
The UNESCO-IOC TRRP is an international, voluntary, community-based recognition programme developed by UNESCO-IOC. It aims to build resilient communities through the promotion and assessment of awareness, preparedness and response strategies that will help to protect life, livelihoods, and property from tsunamis across different regions.  The full Standard Guidelines for TRRP are described in IOC Manuals and Guides No 74 with additional information also available on the Tsunami Ready website.  For the Pacific, the UNESCO-IOC Tsunami Unit (TsunamiReady@unesco.org) and International Tsunami Information Centre (itic@unesco.org) are available to technically support Member States in the process and provide more information as required.
 
In this context, and to inform Pacific Island Countries and Territories on the Programme and invite Member States to support the implementation of the UNESCO-IOC TRRP, the IOC and International Tsunami Information Centre will conduct a Regional Training on the UNESCO/IOC Tsunami Ready Recognition Programme for Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICT) on 30 January - 01 February 2023 at the Tanoa International Hotel Conference Center in Nadi, Fiji.
