Keeping coastal communities safe

We issue tsunami watches and warnings on behalf of the Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre, which we run with Geoscience Australia.

The Centre provides at least 90 minutes' warning of a potential tsunami danger to mainland Australia – 24 hours a day, every day.

It also provides tsunami threat advice to other tsunami warning centres in the Indian Ocean, so they can issue timely warnings to their communities.
