In Naples the meeting of experts for the implementation of the NEAMTWS strategy

The international working group that deals with implementing the strategy of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC-UNESCO) for the management of tsunami risk in the Mediterranean and in the eastern Atlantic, met in Naples on 28-30 November 2022. They were more than 60 experts were present, representing the institutions that manage the warning systems for earthquakes and the possible consequent tsunamis in the countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea basin and in the European part of the Atlantic Ocean.
The meetings served to present the progress of the systems for detecting rising sea level (for Italy, ISPRA with its monitoring stations is responsible) and rapid warning systems for tsunami-genic seismic phenomena.

These meetings have been very useful and productive to strengthen the international collaboration necessary for the implementation of the NEAMTWS 2030 strategy and to establish the next activities of the working groups in charge of achieving its objectives.
