    Description
    Description
    Indonesia Tsunami Early Warning System (InaTEWS) is an operational activity carried out by Agency for Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics as a part of governmental duty which shall provide meteorology, climatology, and geophysics service including public information, early warning, and specific information. BMKG is a tsunami service provider under UNESCO/IOC that responsible providing tsunami threat notification to the Indian Ocean member states.
