Abstract
Following the 26 December 2004 tsunami, the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) carried out National Assessment missions for 16 countries in the Indian Ocean to advance the establishment of an Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System. The missions assessed each country's requirements for effective and durable tsunami response, and their capacity to strengthen capabilities for tsunami early warning and response. The IOC, funded by AusAID, carried out a National Assessment mission for Timor Leste from 26th November to 1st December 2007. The mission team consisted of experts from the IOC, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR), UN Development Program (UNDP), Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM). GA and BOM carried out site investigations for a proposed seismic station and sea level monitoring stations that may be installed as part of the Australian Tsunami Warning System (ATWS).
