Within the framework of the Intergovernmental Coordination Group for the North-Eastern Atlantic, the Mediterranean and Connected Seas Tsunami Early Warning and Mitigation System (ICG/NEAMTWS) and the IOC EU DG-ECHO CoastWAVE Project.

The IOC-UNESCO is carrying out a survey with selected Member States on the perception of coastal risks and preparedness to tsunami, storm surge, and sea level rise to better understand how coastal populations perceive these natural hazards and risks and develop recommendations for enhanced risk communication strategies and products in the region.

The goal of the survey is to improve sea level related early warning and mitigation systems and preparedness in the Mediterranean region in order to save lives, reduce losses and damages in the event of a natural disaster of that kind.

Note: All information given in this survey will be anonymous and confidential.

The questionnaire will take about 15 minutes. We thank you for your contribution.

Questionnaire is for people in the education sector (teachers, students, etc) except people under the age of 14 years old; the tourism sector (restaurant-bars, stores, hotel owners, tourist guides, employees of the sector, etc); the emergency responder sector (fire fighters, police, coastal guards, civil protection agencies, etc); and the public.

Survey reviewed by IOC UNESCO, EU DG ECHO and Coastwave partners.
