Short background
Directly after the Sumatra earthquake in December 2004 the Indonesian Ministry of Research and Technology (RISTEK) and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Re-search (BMBF) decided to jointly develop the German Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System (GITEWS). This has been a starting point to support the requisite individual and institutional capacities for the implementation, maintenance and expansion of the Early Warning System. Since 2009 this platform has become a hub for the documentation and management of Multi-Hazard capacity building programmes.
