- India is set to become the first country to predict the extent of inundation caused by tsunami waves in real time.
- This would be a major breakthrough after India set up the Indian Tsunami Early Warning Centre (ITEWC) at the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Sciences, Hyderabad.
- Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Sciences (INCOIS) is an autonomous body under the Ministry of Earth Sciences.
- At present, ITEWC provides information on the possible height of tsunami waves and the time to impact on the coast.
- After upgradation, it would tell the extent and level of inundation and it would be beneficial for Indian Ocean rim countries, Australia and Indonesia.
