Through Resolution XXIV-14, the IOC Assembly at its 24th session decided on the establishment of a Working Group on Tsunamis and Other Hazards Related to Sea-Level Warning and Mitigation Systems (TOWS-WG). The group is tasked primarily to advise the IOC Governing Bodies on coordinated development and implementation activities of warning and mitigation systems for tsunamis and other hazards related to sea level of common priority to all Intergovernmental Coordination Groups of Regional Tsunami Warning and Mitigation Systems.
By its IOC Decision A-31/3.4.1 on Warning Mitigation Systems for Ocean Hazards, the IOC Assembly in 2021 reaffirmed the need for continued inter-ICG coordination through TOWS and the extended tenure of its two inter-ICG Task Teams on Disaster Management and Preparedness (TT-DMP) and Tsunami Watch Operations (TT-TWO).
NB: TT-TWO will meet on 21-22 Feb 2025 following the Meeting of the TOWS Joint Task Team (TT-DMP and TT-TWO) on 20 February 2025. The meeting on 22 February 2025 will be only half day (morning). Information on the Meeting of the TOWS Task Team on Disaster Management and Preparedness (TT-DMP) is available here.
