ATSB® experience in managing complex high-tech projects has enabled it to secure several high profile national level projects. Typically in these projects, sensors and instruments are placed throughout the country and data is subsequently sent back to central location for processing, modeling, decision making, and subsequent dissemination. Among these projects are the National Tsunami Early Warning System. For the Tsunami project, various types of sensors such as deep ocean buoys, seismic sensors, tidal gauges and coastal cameras are used. Data from the sensors is transmitted back to the National Tsunami Early ,Warning Control Centre for processing, modeling and subsequent analysis. Results of that analysis are then communicated to decision-makers via sms and facsimile. Sirens are also placed all over the country to provide warning to the public broadcast over the electronic media. As part of the regional effort to co-perate on early warning data and disasters, data from the sensors is also shared with neighbouring countries and the international community.
