The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) and authorities at the island of Kos will carry out a tsunami emergency drill on November 19 to test the Tsunami Last Mile (TLM) warning and response services that were set up at the Dodecanese island, after the July 20, 2017 tsunami that claimed the lives of two people, ANA reports.
The drill will be executed at 9 am on Tuesday, when the Hellenic National Tsunami Warning Centre’s signal receptors will simulate the 2017 tsunami feedback data, after which students at Kos’ 3rd Junior School and 1st Junior High School, as well as staff at a local hotel, will all evacuate and gather at a specific location.
