Human Resources Training Programme for Disaster Risk Reduction for Latin America and

the Caribbean

TSUNAMIS DIPLOMA COURSE EDITION IV

"Tsunami on the Coasts of Latin America and the Caribbean: Scientific

Basis, Threat and Vulnerability"

May 6th to May 17th, 2019

Valparaíso, Chile

HUMAN RESOURCES TRAINING PROGRAMME FOR DISASTER RISK REDUCTION

FOR LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBEAN - KIZUNA.

The Chilean and Japanese governments, through their International Cooperation

Agencies, AGCID and JICA respectively, agree to carry out the Kizuna Project "Human

Resources Training Programme for Disaster Risk Reduction for Latin America and the

Caribbean" as part of the Japan-Chile Partnership Programme (JCPP). The National

Emergency Office of the Ministry of the Inferior - ONEMI will attend as Technical Manager

of the project.

The purpose of this programme is to strengthen the professional capabilities of those

focused on risk prevention and reduction before a natural disaster. To accomplish this,

study programmes, which contemplate different education needs, are offered; Master’s

degrees, Diploma Courses, and international courses characterised for their high

specialisation and quality.

The Kizuna Project expects to develop broad experiences and skills among the Latin

American and the Caribbean countries, as well as creating networks linked to the training

programme subjects carried out by academic, private, and public institutions.

Finally, the Kizuna Project seeks to give account of the extent of the risk before natural

disasters and their various subjects such as: urban rescue, early warning, and tsunami risk

management, infrastructure, forest fire prevention and control, seismic bridge design,

basin management, continuity plan of business in harbours, seismology, and urban

rescue, among others. The organising entities are Chilean universities and national

sectors who have developed expertise in the corresponding subject. This is the case of the

"Tsunami on the coasts of Latin America and the Caribbean: scientific basis, threat, and

vulnerability Diploma Course", which will be organised by the Marine Science School of

the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso (ECM-PUCV for its initials in Spanish,

respectively) along with the collaboration of the Hydrographical and Oceanographical

Service of the Chilean Navy (SHOA for its initials in Spanish).

General Information (G.I)

I. MAIN GOAL

The participating countries from the coasts of Latin America and the Caribbean reinforce

their knowledge and skills for tsunami risk mitigation and reduction.

II. PURPOSE OF THE DIPLOMA COURSE

The Tsunamis Diploma Course intends to share practical and theoretical knowledge,

which allow for the reinforcement of reduction risk actions with the participants in their

corresponding countries. Aimed at the members of the warning systems and emergency

offices, the diploma course will comprehensively address the phenomenon, considering

scientific aspects which will help them improve their understanding and social aspects,

including risk mitigation and reduction which can be introduced from science to local

governability. Therefore, the diploma course will grant a medium specialisation level,

somewhere between that granted during the participant’s professional formation, and the

one which can be obtained through a Postgraduate Course.

III. RESULTS

Once the Tsunamis Diploma Course has concluded, participants are expected to have

acquired the following knowledge and competences:

Knowledge about earthquakes and tsunamis creation, including geophysical,

seismic, and oceanographic basis.

Knowledge about the forecast and early tsunami warning systems both at home

and abroad.

Capability to recognise and asses the risk and vulnerability of their societies and

the systems in which they work.

Capability to learn lectures based on study cases of past tsunamis.

Ability and attitude to introduce and/or improve the operational systems of the

institutions they belong to.

IV. DURATION

The diploma course lasts two weeks. Classes start on May 6th and end on May 17th, 2019.

They will take place in the city of Valparaiso, Chile, on a face-to-face basis and due to

lectures, talks, and field activities, grantees are required to be exclusively focused on the

programme all day.

For the student to pass the diploma course, a face-to-face class attendance percentage of

a minimum of 90% and 100% for field activities must be achieved.

V. METHODOLOGY

The diploma course is carried out face-to-face, aimed at theoretical and practical training

for the reduction of tsunamis effects, through preparation, response or recovery.

Module 1 : To share basic knowledge regarding how earthquakes and tsunamis

are created, and what the latest scientific advances which have been

achieved for their understanding are.

Module 2 : To define the threat, from a forecast point of view through geology and

mathematical modelling as well as the effect on coastal infrastructure.

Module 3 : To develop the vulnerability concept and its influence over the risk,

understanding it through a broad point of view: from risk reduction

through engineering to the role of education.

Module 4 : To hand over an outlook of the Tsunami Warning System of Chile

(SNAM for its initials in Spanish), involved processes and flows are

analysed. Furthermore, the new forecast system is studied (SIPAT).

Module 5 : To study and analyse the study cases of recent and enormous

historical tsunamis.

During the diploma course, four teaching procedures in accordance with the profile and

diversity of the students will be used: a) Traditional lectures, b) Field activities, c) Practical

work, and 4) Assessment.

a) Traditional lectures: More than ten worldwide renowned experts for their teaching

experience and their research activities will give traditional lectures at the School of

Marine Sciences – PUCV. Lessons will be from 9:00 until 19:30.

b) Field activities: Complementary to classroom activities, three activities in the field

are considered:

1. Vulnerability against tsunamis in Valparaiso and Viña del Mar: a trip to the

operations centre of the National Tsunami Warning System (SNAM for its

initials in Spanish) of the Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service of the

Chilean Navy (SHOA for its initials in Spanish). Consequently, vulnerability of

the cities of Valparaiso and Viña del Mar will be characterised. The latter

considered the main tourist city in Chile, has a significant permanent and

floating population. It is characterised for its vulnerability and for having a

greater tsunami risk on the Chilean coast due to its location in a low sandy plain

and divided by an estuary.

Historical background will be analysed in this field activity, mainly obtained for

Valparaiso. Missives of floods from both cities will be analysed, along with their

emergency plan, their evacuation routes, safe zones, and their vulnerability will

be determined.

2. Threat assessment and tsunami vulnerability in Quintero, geological and

historical aspects, missives of flood, and land use conflicts. The field activity in

Quintero will take all day to be finished.

3. Main Chilean institutions involved in the warning: The purposes, procedures,

and infrastructure of the main institutions responsible for tsunami alert will be

learnt about. The National Seismological Centre and the National Emergency

Office ONEMI, located in Santiago, will be visited. Introductory presentations

will be performed during these activities, along with a tour of the facilities.

c) Practical work (evaluation): During the afternoon on May 16th (15:00 to 19:30),

each student must prepare an oral presentation and a brief written report about

their "Action Plan", where acquired knowledge, experiences, and lectures learnt

through field work and classes are to be applied and expected to be introduced in

the institutional reality of their country. Proposals to reduce vulnerability in any

coastal locality of their country of origin are significantly important in this work,

taking into consideration the context towards infrastructure and procedures

currently available.

For this activity the student is required to prepare an oral presentation of five

minutes, and a printed report of five pages, which must include an introduction,

analysis, expected outcomes, and proposals. This activity will be carried out on the

morning of May 17th, it will be evaluated, representing 50% of the personal final

mark (divided into 30% for the oral presentation, and 20% for the written report).

d) Acquired knowledge test (evaluation): once classes are over, an evaluation on

the acquired knowledge will be taken. It will consist of a multiple selection test,

created based on the questions made by each of the involved teachers. This

evaluation activity will represent 50% of the individual mark, adding to the 50%

resulting from individual work.

Most of the activities will be centralised at the School of Marine Science - PUCV, located in

the coastal city of Valparaiso, main port and naval city of Chile, considered a cultural

heritage of humanity by UNESCO.

VI. LANGUAGE

The diploma course will be carried out completely in Spanish.
