A tsunami early warning exercise will take place in the Caribbean on Thursday to identify possible weaknesses in the Tsunami and other Coastal Hazards Warning System for the Caribbean and Adjacent Regions.
The exercise will test a double scenario including a major earthquake off the coast of Venezuela and another off the northern coast of the Dominican Republic.
It will feature fictitious messages sent by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre and countries can choose to extend the test at the local level by disseminating the alert via sirens or loudspeakers.
The warning system was established in 2005 through the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO.
