Under the auspices of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic
Commission (IOC), an International Coordination Group for the
Tsunami Warning System in the Pacific (ICG/ITSU) was
established in 1968. The IOC also maintains the International Tsunami Information
Center (ITIC). Established in 1965 and hosted by the U.S.A.,
the ITIC works closely with the Richard H. Hagemeyer Pacific
Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC). Both centers are located
in Hawaii, U.S.A, and hosted by the National Weather Service.
The system gathers information from many Tide Stations, Deep-ocean Tsunametera and Seismograph Stations spread out all over the Pacific Ocean.
