11 Caribbean Tsunami Information Centre (CTIC) Established September 2013 by UNDP-led ERC Project A Government of Barbados-UNESCO/IOC Partnership Initiative, located at CZMU, Barbados Serves 48 Member States (MS) and Territories of the Intergovernmental Coordination Group for the Tsunami and Other Coastal Hazards Warning System for the Caribbean and Adjacent Regions (ICG/CARIBE EWS) CTIC s mission is to mitigate the impacts of tsunamis and other coastal hazards within the Caribbean and adjacent regions
12 Tsunami Awakening and Paradigm Shift Past 500 years, > than 75 tsunamis killed > 4484 people Since latest devastating tsunami (1946, Dominican Republic), explosive growth along coastlines; particularly in tourism sector With the 2004 Indian Ocean event, almost 230,000 people died, many of them tourists In 2011 destructive power of tsunamis in Japan. Although almost 20,000 people died In the Caribbean, governments have decided that to protect the lives of their people and visitors, their economic viability as tourism destinations, it is better to get ready TSUNAMI READY
13 US TsunamiReady Program estab Modelled after a Storm Ready Recognition Program Guidelines updated in 2016 Puerto Rico & US VI certified on this basis
14 UNESCO IOC CARIBE EWS Tsunami Ready Voluntary Performance Based Recognition Programme (Pilot Project) Began implementation as joint UNESCO/IOC-NOAA pilot: Anguilla (2011), BVI (2014) Programme approved by UNESCO IOC for CARIBE EWS in 2016 Recognized countries/territories: St. Kitts and Nevis (2016) In process: St. Patrick Parish (Grenada), Fort Liberte (Haiti), Omoa (Honduras), Corn Island (Nicaragua) Initiation Stage: Holetown (Barbados), St. Vincent and the Grenadines
15 UNESCO IOC CARIBE EWS Tsunami Ready Voluntary Performance Based Recognition Program - Global Piloting Working Group on Tsunamis and Other Hazards Related to Sea-Level Warning and Mitigation Systems (TOWS) in 2017 instructed ICGs to consider piloting ICG/CARIBE EWS guidelines with a view toward developing a harmonized consistent global guideline Pacific Tsunami Warning System (PTWS) Adaptation and Pilot Programme: o Savaia Lefaga (Samoa), Cedeno (Honduras), Ostional (Costa Rica) recognised o Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Samoa, Tonga and Vanuatu have indicated interest Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning Program: Reviewing guidelines for adaptation
16 Mitigation 1. Define Tsunami Hazard Zone Saint Kitts and Nevis No tsunami inundation modeling was available due to lack of bathymetry, ComMIT was run but results are of limited use. Baseline tsunami zone was used based on worst case scenario (30m wave/1.6km inland) Cedeño, Marcovia, Honduras A product of NOAA ComMIT training as part of TEMP
17 Mitigation 2. Public Display of Tsunami Information Saint Kitts and Nevis 70 signs were installed in SKN Honduras 20 signs installed in Cedeño
18 More Examples of Signs
19 Preparedness 3. Tsunami Evacuation Map Saint Kitts and Nevis 1200 copies of the maps of Saint Kitts 400 copies maps Basseterre, Saint Kitts 1200 maps of Nevis 400 maps of Charlestown Cedeño, Marcovia, Honduras
20
21 Preparedness 4. Public Education and Outreach Materials Saint Kitts and Nevis Cedeño, Marcovia, Honduras

31 CASE STUDY ST. KITTS & NEVIS
32 Tsunami Ready Awareness National Perspective St. Kitts and Nevis Claricia Langley-Stevens Deputy National Disaster Coordinator National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) 7th December 2017, CDM 10, The Bahamas
33 OBJECTIVES In this presentation I hope to highlight: Facts about SKN Before Recognition Tsunami Ready Recognition (SKN) Sustainable Actions Challenges After Recognition (before re-certification) The Way Forward
34 About SKN Population approx. 44,000 St. Kitts dormant volcano Nevis Geothermal Energy 2009 Sugar was king 2005 Thriving Tourism Industry
35 Before Recognition Embraced the CDM Strategy via NDO s but no access to resources to engage in planning for the threat of Tsunamis Lacked technical expertise to develop GIS for map development No Tsunami specific PSA s/ Educational Materials Restrictive budgets to support Tsunami specific projects No access to Inundation Maps, Evacuation Routes and Assembly Points
36 Tsunami Ready Recognition (SKN) SKN received recognition in October 2016 Achieved through research, consultations, stakeholders meeting, surveys etc. On going Campaign (Education and Awareness)
37 Sustainable Actions Establish nationwide alerting Strengthen School Safety Program Erect additional signs Provide training in Tsunami Map Use (Evacuation) Strengthen partnership; e.g. CDEMA, CTWP Enhance Public Education and Awareness
38 CHALLENGES No Standardize Alerting Mechanism or Early Warning System Lack of Funding (Lack of Money and sponsorship) Critical Infrastructure/dwellings along coastline Long approval times by Government Lack of Bathymetric Data High cost to produce PSA/Safety Video
39 After Recognition (Certification) Enhance PE&A Local and Regional egsrc Install additional directional signs/sign boards (Community/beach) Implement Early Warning System (Phased) Community vulnerability maps (Populations,Evacuation Route, etc.) Promoting and developing Family and Community Emergency Response Plans
40 The Way Forward SKN Change in Culture/Behaviour Government (Physical Planning) review the Land Use Policy Tsunami Map utilized as a decision making tool across the Public Private Sector Location of Critical Infrastructure including New Cemetery Recognition granted us Access to Bathymetric Data to support GIS Government Now Listens influencing a change in thinking More collaboration with Department of Environment to support the Climate Change Discussion Allowed for us to increase on our volunteer pool More drills/simulation across sectors Private Sector/Churches aligning with CDM
41
42 SKN TSUNAMI READY YOUTH IN ACTION IN ST. KITTS & NEVIS N A D I A F R A N C I S S K N C D M YO U T H A M B A S S A D O R ( A S ST. S E C R E TA RY) ( N E M A / N D M D ) 7 T H D E C E M B E R 2 017, C D M, B A H A M A S
43 *Launched in November 2017 *30 Members Inducted *A Federal Initiative aligned with CDM
44 In 2015 at CDM 9 CDEMA indicated that the member states need to be sensitive to the impact that disasters and climate change have on vulnerable populations including the youth. Which is why I am here to promote a charge issued to my colleagues and I... To promote in an aggressive education and awareness campaign This tool was funded by Basic Needs Trust Fund in 2017 via Caribbean Development Bank.
45
46
47 RECOMMENDATIONS 1. All CDEMA participating states adopt this tool which I believe will enhance their multi hazard education and awareness campaigns 2. If you are not Tsunami ready become Tsunami ready. It helps in preparing and mitigating against other hazards 3. Invest in the tool now, do not be penny wise and pound foolish 4. UNESCO and UNISDR stands ready to support these initiatives, ENGAGE THEM NOW 5. National Disaster Offices can better support community resilience by insuring that all residents and visitors to their island can have access to this tool as it can be personalised 6. This tool can be shared as a Tourism product, to ensure the visitors that we as a people invest in disaster risk reduction measures
48 Thank you for listening
49 SUMMARY & WAY FORWARD
50 Summary - UNESCO/IOC CARIBE-EWS Performance Based Tsunami Community Recognition Programme (Pilot Project) Tsunami Ready Roots in US StormReady Program Adapted from US TsunamiReady Program 5 ICG/CARIBE EWS MS recognised under various mechanisms, at least 6 additional in pipeline Strong partnerships and integration, adaptation for other hazards on-going, resiliency Global harmonization ongoing with adaptation/piloted in PTWS and IOTWS Self-Evacuation is still key!!!!
51 Tsunami Ready Benefits Increases public awareness and understanding of tsunami threat Improves relationship between NTWC-DMO- Scientists Improves community pre-planning Improves preparedness for all-hazards e.g. BVI, promotes redundancy Promoted consistency and standardization vital for building awareness and empowerment Provides for recognition of communities and public authorities (motivational) Programme is enduring through renewal process, partnerships, integration and youth
