凭借这一认证，拉蓬塔已成为该国首个具备海啸应对能力的社区。
In a milestone for disaster risk management in Peru, the district of La Punta, in Callao, has been officially recognized as a “Tsunami Ready” community by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (IOC-UNESCO), after successfully meeting all the indicators of the Tsunami Ready Recognition Programme (TRRP). It is the first coastal district in the country to successfully implement this programme, strengthening coastal resilience and contributing to the global goal of ensuring that 100% of at-risk communities are prepared by 2030.
“通过政府间海洋学委员会，我们与150个会员国携手，致力于加强海洋科学研究，完善观测和预警系统，并推动社区和机构做好准备，以保护生命安全。我们很高兴拉蓬塔加入这一全球网络，”联合国教科文组织驻秘鲁代表吉奥马尔·阿隆索·卡诺表示。
The Tsunami Ready Programme promotes the preparedness of coastal communities for tsunamis through compliance with 12 international indicators related to risk assessment, community preparedness, and emergency response capacity, including early warning systems, evacuation route signage, emergency plans, and public training.
The programme also requires clearly defined local and institutional governance. In Peru’s case, the guidelines include the establishment of a National Tsunami Ready Council (CNTR). The sustainability of the recognition is a core principle of the programme: once granted, the designation is valid for four years and may be renewed, provided the community demonstrates that it maintains the established standards and continues to meet the programme’s indicators.
The process to achieve this recognition took place between late 2024 and 九月份 2025, with the participation of the District Municipality of La Punta, in coordination with technical entities belonging to the National Disaster Risk Management System (SINAGERD), involved in monitoring and risk analysis for tsunami events, such as the Directorate of Hydrography and Navigation of the Peruvian Navy and the National Institute of Civil Defense. This coordinated effort made it possible to implement the Tsunami Ready Programme standards at the local level, strengthening community preparedness and its capacity to respond to emergencies.
“这一认证不仅证明了我们符合严格的标准，也体现了我们社区对生命安全、防灾减灾和韧性建设的真诚承诺。成为‘海啸防备型社区’意味着我们做好了更充分的准备，但也肩负着一项长期责任：即持续加强我们在防灾、应急响应和灾后重建方面的能力，”拉普恩塔市长拉蒙·加拉伊·莱昂表示。
“海啸防备计划”目前已在43个国家实施，该计划致力于推动疏散演练、开展#GetToHighGround等宣传活动，并促进国家与地方当局之间的协调，以确保应急响应高效且协调有序。
At the regional level, communities in Latin America and the Caribbean—particularly in countries such as Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Mexico—have made progress in implementing the Tsunami Ready Programme as part of broader efforts to strengthen resilience to tsunamis. The inclusion of La Punta places Peru within this regional network of prepared communities and represents an important step toward expanding this model to other coastal areas of the country.
“海啸防备”认证并不能消除风险；相反，它通过加强机构和社区的能力，借助防灾准备、协调与及时响应，从而减轻海啸的影响。该认证还与“海洋科学促进可持续发展十年”（2021–2030）的目标相契合，该计划旨在推动面临海啸风险的沿海社区在2030年前提升防灾准备水平。
该证书于3月27日在拉蓬塔区颁发，出席仪式的人员包括：联合国教科文组织驻秘鲁代表吉奥马尔·阿隆索·卡诺、拉蓬塔区市长拉蒙·加拉伊、国家民防局局长路易斯·巴斯克斯准将、水文与航海局局长豪尔赫·比斯卡拉海军少将，以及应急准备局局长何塞·路易斯·布斯塔曼特上校。
