The UNESCO Internatonal Oceanographic Commission, assuming the programme as one of its main objectves, has developed internatonal and standard guidelines for the accreditaton of individual municipalites wishing to be declared “Tsunami Ready”. The guidelines, based on decades of experience in protectng coastal communites from tsunami risk, have been tested in various tsunami-prone regions around the world (UNESCO, 2022). The Tsunami Ready programme has been identfed as a priority in the framework of the Ocean Decade for Sustainable Development, established by the United Natons for the period 2021-2030 (Franke et al., 2023). A detailed, universally applicable - and traceable - grid consistng of three thematc sectons and 12 indicators underpins this approach.
