The IOC Assembly at its fourth session (3–12 November 1965) decided through Resolution IV-6, to create the International Coordination Group for the Tsunami Warning System in the Pacific (ICG/ITSU). ICG/ITSU was subsequently renamed by the IOC Executive Council at its 39th session (Resolution XXXIX-8), the Intergovernmental Coordination Group for the Pacific Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System (ICG/PTWS). The 27th Session of ICG/PTWS is scheduled in Tahiti, France, from 28 to 31 March 2017 at the kind invitation of the Government of France.
In association with this meeting, the IOC of UNESCO, the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) and its Tsunami Commission, and the Centre Polynésien de prévention des tsunamis (CPPT) are organizing an International Tsunami Workshop with a Science session on “The forecast and observations of the recent (2009-2016) tsunamis in the Pacific” and a Disaster Management session on “Improving Tsunami Response: Lessons and Initiatives by Disaster Management Organizations”, on 27 March 2017, immediately preceding the ICG/PTWS session.
