  11. STATE OF THE ART TSUNAMI EARLY WARNING SYSTEM BY INCOIS After Tsunami in December 2004, the Government of India decided to put in place an Early Warning System for providing alarm, watch and early warning of such oceanogenic disasters. Indian National Center for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS), Hyderabad is the nodal agency for this early warning system. The Indian Tsunami Early Warning System comprises a real-time network of seismic stations, Bottom Pressure Recorders (BPRs), tide gauges and 24 X 7 operational Tsunami Warning Centre to detect tsunamigenic earthquakes, monitor tsunamis and to provide timely advisories to vulnerable communities by means of latest communication methods with back-end support of scenario database, vulnerability modeling and Decision Support System.

  12. SAFE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION IN BANK FINANCED CONSTRUCTION • NDMA is also now in the process of recommending to Reserve Bank of India (RBI) a compliance friendly but nonnegotiable Guidelines on how to ensure incorporation of disaster resistant features in the actual construction of loan-financed assets before the loan is sanctioned/disbursed. Mission for mainstreaming safe building construction into bank loan schemes has been taken up by NDMA as per the recommendations made in NDMA Guidelines on Management of Earthquakes and Landslides. After continuous insistence from NDMA, RBI has issued advisory to banks for ensuring disaster safe construction practice (as per NBC, 2005) in the loan based building construction. However, such initiative of RBI is found to be not compliance friendly. Therefore, a simplified guidelines/check memo for disaster safe construction will be facilitated to RBI for circulation among banks. So far, the first draft guidelines on above has already been circulated to RBI for their observation.
