TSUNAMI EVACUATION MAPS, PLANS AND PROCEDURES (TEMPP 2): TSUNAMI EVACUATION MAPS AND COMMUNITY RESPONSE PLANS - PICTs - Fiji

This workshop will focus on the practical application of GIS mapping tools and techniques for​ tsunami evacuation and response planning. Using the Solomon Islands as a demonstration​ case study, or their own inundation maps, participants will learn how to use and apply QGIS​ tools to transform their inundation modeling results into actionable evacuation maps that meet​ international standards for submission to the IOC. With reference to the UNESCO-IOC Tsunami​ Ready indicators and IOC guidelines, participants will also consider the application of​ evacuation maps in evacuation and response planning. The workshop will focus on the practical​ application of GIS mapping tools for the first two days, tsunami evacuation and response​ planning for the third and fourth days, and community exercising on the last day.
