Volume 3C- National Tsunami Plan

The Tsunami Preparedness Plan for the Cayman Islands is written and issued by Hazard Management Cayman Islands (HMCI) to ensure that:

• All practical precautions are taken in advance to minimise, prevent and protect against the loss of life, risk of injury to people during a Tsunami through public education.
• Operational response to an event is based on a continuous flow of accurate information from a variety of sources, which will allow the NEOC to evaluate overall conditions and prioritise the deployment of personnel, equipment and relief resources.
• Damage assessment and recovery measures are incorporated, which provides for the timely and efficient transition from immediate response to post-tsunami recovery operations.

Response operations may continue on different levels over an extended period of time due to changing conditions that continue to threaten life and property. Transition into Cayman Islands National Tsunami Plan 2 recovery is an important element of disaster response and will commence while emergency response is still occurring.
