PTWC-AoR (Area of Responsibility)
PTWC Responsibilities
NOAA's two Tsunami Warning Centers (PTWC and WC/ATWC)
have separate areas of responsibility, which are the geographical areas
within which each Center has the responsibility for the dissemination
of messages and the provision of interpretive information to emergency
managers and other officials, news media, and the public.
Pacific Ocean
As the primarly operational headquarters for the Pacific Tsunami Warning System,
PTWC provides warnings for Pacific basin teletsunamis (tsunamis that
can cause damage far away from their source) to almost every country
around the Pacific rim and to most of the Pacific island states. This
function is carried out under the auspices of the UNESCO/IOCInternational
Coordination Group for the Pacific Tsunami Warning System. A few
destructive teletsunamis are generated each century by great earthquakes
around the Pacific rim. Such tsunamis can propagate across the entire
Pacific in less than 24 hours, and cause widespread destruction along
shorelines located thousands of miles from the source. With
ever-increasing population and development along most coastlines,
there is a corresponding increase in risk. The last destructive
teletsunami occurred in 1964 following the great Alaska earthquake.
Pacific - U.S. Interests
As a U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center,
PTWC provides warnings for teletsunamis to Hawaiʻi, Guam, American
Samoa, Wake Island, Johnston Island, the Commonwealth of the Northern
Marianas, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the
Marshall Islands, and all other U.S. interests in the Pacific located
outside WC/ATWC's area of responsibility (Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California). PTWC serves as a backup to WC/ATWC.
South China Sea
PTWC is the interim warning center to
nations bordering the South China Sea (China, Macao, Hong Kong, Taiwan,
Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia,
Vietnam).
Hawaiʻi
As the Hawaiʻi Regional Tsunami Warning Center,
PTWC provides a more rapid warning for local tsunamis generated in
Hawaiian waters. Two significant local tsunamis have been generated in
Hawaiʻi in historical times, one in 1868 and one in 1975. Both were
caused by major earthquakes that displaced the sea bottom along the
southeast flank of the island of Hawaiʻi. Although these tsunamis caused
damage and casualties only on that island, a future local tsunami could
have adverse
effects further up the island chain. Local tsunamis strike nearby shores
almost immediately after being generated by the earthquake.
Consequently, the earliest warning for a local tsunami is the strong
shaking of the ground, and persons near the shoreline that feel strong
shaking should evacuate immediately without waiting for an official
warning.
Caribbean Sea
PTWC is the interim warning center to countries in the Coastal Hazards Warning System for the Caribbean and Adjacent Regions (CARIBE).
Caribbean Sea - U.S. Interests
From 2005-2007, PTWC was the interim
warning center to U.S. Interests (Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands) in the
Caribbean Sea. The WC/ATWC now provides this service to U.S. interets in the Caribbean.
Indian Ocean
From 2005-2013, PTWC provided an interim tsunami warning service to the Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System (IOTWS). Service is now being provided by Regional Tsunami Service Providers in Australia, India, and Indonesia.
United States mainland and Canada
The WC/ATWC is the authoritative tsunami warning center for the western and eastern coasts of the United States mainland and Canada.
