34 Seismological Summary of Sumatera Padang (Natawidjaya, 2002) Several big earthquake have been recorded in the West Coast of Sumatra (e.g. 1833, 1935 and 2004) and initiated tsunami disaster. Based on paleo-tsunami research, the next big earthquake with tsunami is forecasted to occur at Padang page 34

54 Real time Earthquake Monitoring Indonesia, with the aids from several other countries, have established additional 11 seismometer stations (Nias, Yogyakarta, Banda Aceh, Jambi, Padang Panjang, Bengkulu, Bandung, Palu, Waingapu, Denpasar, Tangerang) as a part of INA-TWS. Utilizing the global network, INA-TWS has capacity to distribute earthquake information in less than 10 minutes after earthquake occurs. This has been demonstrated by an end-to-end simulation on December 2005 to commemorate one-year of the Aceh-tsunami page 54

55 Real-time Sea-level Monitoring System for sea level monitoring in Padang has been established and directly connected with BMG on real time basis for tsunami warning confirmation. page 55

56 Tsunami Warning Message Content via SMS : Terjadi gempa kuat 26 Desember 2005; WIB; 125 km barat daya Kota Padang. Potensi timbulkan tsunami, segera tinggalkan pantai Kota Padang dan sekitarnya. (BMG) A strong earthquake has occurred on December 26, 2005; WIB; 125 km South-West of Padang City It potentially can trigger tsunami, please evacuate yourself immediately from coasts of Padang City and its surrounding page 56

57 Dissemination of Warning Information From National Center (BMG-Jakarta) to Major of Padang via SMS From Major of Padang to Critical Posts by Siren, HT, Local Communication.

60 the way forward Tsunami early warning systems cannot be handled by a single country. Strong cooperation is needed among all countries over the globe, especially those who have coastal areas threatened by tsunami. Such cooperation can be classified into two main groups, i.e. : structure (relating to establishment of sensing devices) and culture (relating to building resilient communities) The cooperation can be in the form of : A. STRUCTURE Funding for sensing equipment and installation, including data sharing and information exchange Operation and maintenance of the systems for both financial and technological aspects Development of robust communication infrastructure page 60

61 the way forward B. CULTURE Capacity building in human resource development, joint research program and institutional development Empowering domestic resources in instrumentation industries and facilities Strengthening the regional network Enhancing the community preparedness together with public awareness towards community-based disaster management Development of redundancy in warning dissemination Development of formal education in disaster management page 61
