Participation
The Intergovernmental Coordination Group for the Pacific Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System (ICG/PTWS) was first established by the IOC in 1965 as a cooperation mechanism for countries in the Pacific whose coastal areas are threatened by tsunamis. Through the ICG, Member States have designed and developed the Pacific Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System and work together to improve and sustain it.
In this context, the ICG/PTWS Steering Committee will be held from 16-18 September 2026, hosted by the International Tsunami Information Center (ITIC). The meeting is being convened to facilitate the smooth coordination and implementation of ongoing and forthcoming activities under the ICG/PTWS framework, particularly those related to the various Working Groups (WGs) and Task Teams (TTs).
The PTWS-SC meeting will be preceded by two technical meetings: On 14 September 2026, the ITIC will lead a meeting on the Tsunami Warning Centre Minimum Staff Competency Training Pilot – Consultation and Rollout. On 15 September 2026, the PTWS Working Group 3, Task Team on Tsunami Ready, will lead a meeting on the PTWS Tsunami Ready Equivalency – Progress and Piloting. These meetings will be open to all ICG/PTWS Members at the invitation of the Chair. More information will be sent in the coming month.
