The Keralam government has informed the National Tsunami Ready Board (NTRB) that nine coastal panchayats in the State are ready for evaluation for recognition as ‘Tsunami Ready’ by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (IOC-UNESCO).
The recognition is given based on specific indicators, achieved through a series of well-planned activities aimed at building resilience against tsunamis. The assessment process is likely to be held in November 2026 at the nine coastal panchayats identified in the first phase of the project.
