If a large earthquake occurs near the coast, a destructive tsunami can be created that meets near coasts in a few minutes and also runs throughout the oceans and adds 1000 kilometers away and damage up to 24 hours later. In order to draw far away coasts, internationally coordinated tsunami early warning systems such as the Pacific tsunami warning and reduction system (PTWS) were set up in order to quickly provide the countries with tsunami threatening information.

2015 is the 50th year of the PTWS. The system was founded in 1965 in response to the earthquake of 1960 M9.5 in front of the southern Chili, which produced a tsunami that crossed the Pacific Chili, who killed hundreds in Hawaii, Japan and the Philippines. The PTWS has been built over the decades through international cooperation and the contributions of the federal states and organizations as part of the UNESCOIOC frame.

In order to raise awareness of the dangers of tsunamis and to inform the public about how the PTWs contribute to spreading warnings about the rapprochement with Tsunami, ITIC has created a 6-minute outreach videos in cooperation with Chile.

This video records the Tsunami warning chain for an earthquake of M9.5 in front of the Nordchile, while the employees of the Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) quickly analyze seismic and sea level data, predict tsunami shaft heights and its threats to the Land -National -Sunami Warning Center at the Paci centers the Tsunami warning centers distributed. In this fast-moving video there are vignettes that highlight the tsunami warning and emergency campaigns of centers and communities that highlight the earth's drive in Chile and Peru and after receiving the PTWC warnings in Samoa and Hawaii, in Australia, Japan, Indonesia and in Filipines and in the Filippines.
