This highly successful training with +23 participants from all 4 South American East Coast Spanish speaking countries (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Chile), with funding support shared by UNESCO, USAID/OFDA, and NOAA, was hosted by the Chilean Navy’s Oceanographic and Hydrographic Service (SHOA), on 4 - 8 March 2013, in Valparaiso, Chile. This training is part of the work plan of the ICG/PTWS in view of the soon to start issuance of Enhanced PTWC Products. The ICG/PTWS tasked IOC and ITIC to develop trainings dedicated to SOP and Enhanced PTWC Products to make sure both Tsunami Warning Centers (TWCs) and Tsunami Emergency Responders (TER) at national level are prepared to understand and use the new products in the framework of their SOPs.
