Overview
The Pacific Island Nations Tsunami Early Warning System is a critical network of seismic and sea-level sensors, combined with advanced communications infrastructure, designed to detect and warn island communities of impending tsunamis. The system relies on real-time data from seismic stations and Deep-Ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis (DART) buoys to issue timely warnings, allowing for evacuation and minimizing the impact of these natural disasters. The system is supported by a range of international partners, including the Australian Government and the New Zealand Government.
