| The ICG/CARIBE EWS-II (Cumana, Venezuela) recommended establishing an initial core system for detecting and verifying tsunamis with the CARIBE EWS by the end of 2008; it further recommended to actively plan to take over the full responsibility for the system with a Caribbean Tsunami Warning Center in the region at least by 2010. In the meantime an interim service is provided through the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, PTWC, a US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) facility. |
