Executive Summary
Pakistan’s coastal zone, especially port cities of Gwadar and Karachi are at risk from
tsunami generated by earthquakes in the near-by Makran subduction zone which makes it
imperative to develop a sophisticated and responsive early warning system for protection
of human lives and financial assets.
In Pakistan, the Tsunami warning system lacks the basic capacities of equipment, skills,
and resources. Establishment of the Tsunami Early Warning System in Pakistan will
serve as a country-based early warning and response system. UNESCO is coordinating
establishment of Tsunami Warning Systems globally and in this context it is
strengthening the Early Warning System in Pakistan. The overall objective of the project
is to assist the Government of Pakistan in strengthening its national tsunami and other
ocean-related hazards warning system, as well as the associated preparedness for disaster
risks of the most vulnerable coastal areas of Pakistan.
During the current reporting period (Dec 08-March 09) the project launched its activities
in three areas a) Establish and strengthen institutional arrangements for coastal hazards in
Pakistan. b) Develop tsunami and sea-level related hazard Early Warning System and c)
Initiate pilot community and local level risk reduction arrangements.
During the period the project initiated documentation of existing capacity and
institutional arrangements of different agencies involved in disaster risk preparedness and
response in the coastal areas. This activity will be completed in the second quarter and
will provide a baseline for further planning and monitoring.
As part of UNESCO’s effort to enhance tsunami monitoring capacity in the Indian Ocean
region, it provided Pakistan Metrological Department with two 4-screen computer
systems with specialized software to establish Tsunami Early Warning Centers in
Karachi and Islamabad. An area/site assessment mission to install new tide gauge at
Gwadar (Balochistan) was carried out by UNESCO-IOC in February 2009 and a similar
exercise for Ormara will take place in May 09. Installation of these tide gauges will
provide real time data to Tsunami early warning centres in Karachi and Islamabad which
will help in accurate predication of tsunami.
A 5-day national workshop on development of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for
an end to end tsunami early warning system was held in Karachi. The workshop was
attended by participants from more than 12 organizations and 2nd national workshop on
development of SOPs will be held in May 09.
Urdu translation of the ”Tsunami Teacher Kit-An Information and Resource Kit” is in
progress. This translated kit will serve as awareness and training material for journalist,
school teachers and students.
A sum of USD 88,162 was received in December 2008. Expenditure as of 31 March
2009 is USD 18,433 and available funds are USD 69,729. The implementation rate with
respect to overall budget is 4.6%, where as against allocated funds it is 20%.

A. Project Background
UNESCO began coordinating the establishment of Tsunami Warning Systems globally after
the devastating tsunami of December 26, 2004, based on its successful experience of
operating the Pacific Tsunami Warning System for more than 40 years and mandate given by
UN General Assembly.
Pakistan’s coastal zone is at risk from a tsunami generated by earthquakes in the near-by
Makran subduction zone. Gwadar, the new port city, and Karachi, the commercial hub of the
country, are most vulnerable to coastal inundation, and in the event of a tsunami, large
segments of the population and economic infrastructure will suffer serious losses. It is
imperative to develop a sophisticated and responsive early warning system for protection of
human lives and financial assets.
In Pakistan, warning systems lack the basic capacities of equipment, skills, and resources.
The establishment of Tsunami Early Warning System in Pakistan will serve as a country-
based early warning and response system. Such a system is needed not only for the protection
of citizens and national assets but also provides the building blocks of the global early
warnings system.
B. Project Objectives
The overall objective of the project is to assist the Government of Pakistan in strengthening
its national tsunami and other ocean-related hazards warning system, as well as the
associated preparedness for disaster risks of the most vulnerable coastal areas of Pakistan.
Specific objectives of the project are as follows:
• Establish and strengthen institutional arrangements for coastal hazards in
Pakistan.
• Develop tsunami and sea-level related hazard Early Warning System.
• Initiate pilot community and local level risk reduction arrangements.

Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for an
end to end tsunami early warning system was
held in Karachi from 9-12 February. The
workshop was attended by 25 participants
from more than 12 institutions/agencies
participated ranging from monitoring and
warning agencies (PMD) to management and
response agencies (NDMA, Coast guards, and
PRCS) along with NGOs and academia. The
participating institutions are in process of developing Standard Operating
Procedures (SOP) for tsunami and other costal hazards. This activity is part of
UNESCO-IOC regional activity.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The project “Strengthening of Tsunami warning and Emergency Response” was imitated
by the funding of Multi-donor fund on Tsunami Early Warning Arrangements in the
Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia, consummated by UNESCO-Intergovernmental
Oceanic Commission under which countries in a constant peril of earthquakes and
Tsunami benefited including Pakistan and its neighboring countries. Under this
arrangement a training workshop was held in Pakistan Meteorological Department,
Karachi (09 -13 Feb 2009) with aim to develop of Standard Operating Procedure for
Tsunami Early warning. The project is aimed to stimulate the National Tsunami Warning
Centers and National Disaster management Organizations in the respective countries.
National Tsunami Warning Centers (NTWC) which are currently in a state of
development will act as a Tsunami Warning Focal Point (TWFP) with the responsibility
of receiving international tsunami advisories and issuing tsunami warnings within their
own country/region. NTWC for the operation as well as for the issuance of warning, a
well developed Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) is required. Participants included
from Pakistan Meteorological Department, Pakistan Navy, Maritime Security Agency, Karachi
Port Trust, Pakistan Red Crescent, National Disaster Management Authority, Bahria University
(Karachi and Islamabad). Experts from UNESCO-IOC delivered lectures for preparation of
SOPs and illustrated parameters developed by different countries. Beside these lectures table top
group exercises were conducted under the supervision of experts. Guidelines for development of
SOP were discussed. It was decided that next meeting will be held in the first week of My 2009
in Karachi.

Chief Guest and Participants of the training workshop
Workshop Overview
The workshop was lasted for five days. The workshop was meant for to provide the guidelines to
different stakeholders in Pakistan who has responsibilities regarding the issuance of tsunami
warning and the disaster management if tsunami generated in the Arabian Sea as well as in the
Indian Ocean which may affect the coast line of Pakistan. The coordination and role of different
agencies, local and provincial in case of emergencies, could be decided. Warning would be the
responsibility of Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) and disaster management
organizations must be equally participated in disaster mitigation response. UNESCO-IOC in
2006 felt that most of the Indian Ocean countries did not have well tested protocol and SOP for
to cope with tsunami emergency. In this context UNESCO-IOC decided to hold a series of
training workshops to provide guidelines, templates and the best practices to the countries across
IOTWS.
4
In the first phase standard, generic set of SOP, COP, checklist and flow chart were provided to
Pakistani stakeholders as a common starting point. This material is derived from the best
experiences of existing systems in the pacific especially from USA and Japan. A team of well
experienced lecturers comprised of Tony Elliot Head ICG IOTWS Secretariat, Dr. Fauzi
Chief, Seismic Engineering and Tsunami Division of NTWC, Meteorological, Climatology and
Geophysical Agency Indonesia, Masahiro Yamamoto Senior Tsunami Advisor UNESCO-IOC
and Jane Cunneen UNESCO-IOC, conducted this training workshop at Karachi.
Workshop Activities
Day–1:
Workshop participants from different organizations elaborated their role in Early
Warning, Disaster mitigation and management. Pakistan Meteorological Department was
represented by Mr. Muhammad Riaz, Chief Meteorologist NSMC Karachi. He highlighted the
role played by the PMD in Hazard and Risk assessment and briefed about the responsibilities of
PMD as tsunami warning system in Pakistan. Tsunami hazard and Risk for Pakistan was dyed
and expressed the need for the development of disaster mitigation plans. Other participants from
NDMA, Red Crescent, UNDP and KPT also gave presentations indicating their role.
Dr. Fauzi and Yamamoto briefed the participants about the earthquake and tsunami
science. Tsunami warning process was divided into three parts i.e. source of generation
(earthquake faults), propagation of waves and inundation at impact. Dr. Fauzi described the
criteria for tsunami source which is an Earthquake with magnitude > 7.5 with depth <50Km, and
focal mechanism. Travel time was estimation by using different techniques. Bathometry data and
topography of coast line are equally important for tsunami watch.
Brief note was given about the structure and working of TWC of different regions. All
the three regions i.e. Indian Ocean Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea were discussed with special
emphases on IOTWS. The regions are shown in figure - 1 below whiles their coordination and
working is shown in figure – 2.

IOC divided the world into four regions like Pacific, Caribbean, Indian Ocean and NE Atlantic &
Meditarian Sea. Fig below mentioned the regional and sub regional tsunami warning centers.
IOC with the help of UNESCO and other Funding organizations is trying to develop
coordination and emergency response criteria.

Day– 2:
The Makran Earthquake and Tsunami of 1945 (Mw 8.1 depth 15 Km) was a typical case study in
the context of developing SOPs for Pakistan. As the source of the Tsunami is Subduction zone in
the Arabian Sea hence producing expected impact time of upto 30 minutes (Table–1).
Table – 1
Tsunami Type Typical Time of Impact
Local 0-1 hours
Regional 1-2 hours
Distant >2 hours
The parameters for this region were elaborated by Jane Cunneen. The competency in
historical data catalogue was discussed. It was accentuated that Pakistan must has Numerical
models for wave travel time and height together with paleoseismology and Paleo-Tsunami
project for determination of the past events.
Dr. Fauzi and Yamamoto highlighted the importance of real time seismic data and source
characterization. Interactive seismic data processing procedure was discussed and gave
emphasized to the importance of quick identification of an earthquake magnitude, location and
depth by the operator at NSMC. Different decision support tools were introduced. For tsunami
conformation data from tide gauge network will enable the operator to confirm earthquake
having potential to generate tsunami and even expected wave heights and arrival time at coast.
While working with tide gauge data state of sea for low or high tide must be kept in mind along
side the delay in receiving the tide gauge data.
In the second session role of stockholders and media were talked about for tsunami warning.
Essential coordination between warning center, Government emergency response centers
(Police, fire etc who are first to respond), media and local communities, ware convoluted. In was
shown how communication gap on one side can trigger devastation so the warning must be clear
and understandable by the stakeholders.
Day – 3:
Mr. Uli Wolf introduced the concept of using timeline for tsunami warning and disaster
management. Timeline shows what actually took place during the event. These actions are taken
under SOPs which must set forth the rules and actions to be followed under particular
circumstances. Time line gives information about management and communication and any
problem with SOPs can be resolved in the exercise or drill.
7
Case studies were given by Dr. Fauzi about previous events to judge the effectiveness of TWS
and problems faced by experts in this regard. A special case was 2004 Indonesian tsunami.
Satellite images and aerial photographs were shown to highlight the area.
Small groups of participants were made in order to develop SOPs which will define the role
during routine operations and during tsunemogenic earthquakes. After the group exercise
response of each group to events was evaluated and lapses were conversed. This will facilitate
the NTWC by setting forward the rules for response. Each group prepared its own SOPs for
given scenario and used timeline to perform actions. This highlighted the upstream processes on
the TWC including coordination and time information management.
Lecture was given by Jane Cunneen about tsunami preparedness through education and
awareness. The education must include tsunami science and hazard, previous events and
emergency response system during actual event and safety rules. These enhance coordination
and collaboration, sustainability and must be multi faceted to account for cultural variation,
locality and diversity.
Day – 4
Mr. Yamamoto explained about the SOPs including the analysis processes which involved in
making the SOPs besides this he also explained the flow charts and the check lists involved in
making the SOPs. Then the participants were asked to break out in small groups and by using the
templates to develop time line of processes and actions on SOPs. Each groups developed their
messages, check lists and information dissemination procedures. In the evening session table top
exercise was done by the participants. Four groups were arranged by the experts. Group 1 & 2 of
PMD participants acted as TWC while group 3 and 4 responded as emergency response
agencies. One of the developed formats is given in this report as an example.

Day – 5
Table top exercise of the previous day was discussed by the experts. The merits and demerits of
the said exercise were briefed by both experts and participants. Communication gap between
TWC and TER was highlighted and underscored the need to develop a clear warning message
which could be understood by response agencies and general public. In the evening planning for
mission 2 were discussed in which experts told that they will visit Pakistan in the first week of
May in which they will examine the draft of different SOPs made by the participating
organizations both on TWC and TER sides.
At the end ceremony was held for the presentation of certificates to participants. Besides this all
the experts expressed their views about the said training workshop and they expressed that all the
participants took the part in the workshop very actively.
Training workshop concluded with expectations to develop comprehensive SOPs by different
stakeholders who participated in the training workshop.
