This policy document builds on the Capacity Assessment of Tsunami Preparedness in the Indian Ocean: Status Report 2024 (UNESCO-IOC, forthcoming 2025) and two decades of lessons learned. It evaluates current capacities and identifies opportunities to enhance tsunami preparedness within a multi-hazard context.

The policy document emphasizes the need for regional collaboration aligned with global frameworks such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the Early Warnings for All (EW4All) initiative, and the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030). By positioning tsunami preparedness within broader disaster risk reduction strategies, it offers actionable recommendations for policy and decision-makers strengthening resilience and governance against evolving climate and geophysical threats.
