Summary

The purpose of this Expert Meetings is to quantify earthquake sources in the Northwest Caribbean and non-seismic sources in the whole Caribbean and Adjacent Regions that can generate dangerous tsunamis and to directly support community hazard assessments and holistic risk management, including contributing to the evacuation planning that are part of the implementation of the Tsunami Ready Recognition Program in the Caribbean and its Adjacent regions. Several similar IOC Experts Meetings in the Caribbean held successfully in the past covering seismic and/or non-seismic tsunami sources in Central America, Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Lesser Antilles.
