Tsunami Warning Focal Points (TWFPs)
The Tsunami Warning Focal Point (TWFP) is a 24
x 7 point of contact (office, operational unit or position, not a
person) officially designated by the National Tsunami Warning Centre
(NTWC) or the government to receive and disseminate tsunami information

The role of the TWFP is summarised as follows:
• Reception of the messages transmitted by the IOTWS Tsunami Service Providers
• Evaluate and issue national warnings in accordance with the National Emergency Plan
• Transmission of warning messages to the National Emergency Authorities
• Operating 24/7
