The purpose of the symposium is to disseminate the result of the study for identifying tsunami risk and mitigation measure of countries in South and Southeast Asia which are considered most vulnerable to tsunamis. The better understanding on current geotectonic and seismologic status in these regions is expected in order to synthesize these data for future deployment of warning systems especially with respect to optimizing locations of tidal gages and seismic stations. The symposium will also enhance capacities of hazards assessment and risk reduction for regional, national and local institutions. Knowledge on tsunami hazard, risk assessment and mitigation measures will be transferred through local and regional participants.
