In light of the increasingly diverse and unpredictable weather and climate conditions happened in recent years, it is important to equip Fishermen, Fisheries Extension officers, and related service officials at the district/ municipality government level.  Moreover, academicians working as partners for fishermen and coastal communities also need to be trained with the necessary knowledge and skills to deal with weather uncertainty and climate variability. Recognizing the potential disruptions in food security, particularly in the marine and fisheries sectors, various groups have emphasized the paramount importance of addressing weather and climate issues comprehensively.

In response, we introduce the Weather Field School for Fishermen—an innovative program designed to provide fishermen and officials partners with an in-depth understanding of weather patterns and climate dynamics. By empowering fishermen with this knowledge and extending their skills using marine weather information, we intend to enhance their ability to anticipate and adapt to extreme weather events impacts which in turn will ensure sustainable fishing practices and aquaculture implementation to secure the future of our marine resources. With a curriculum comprising four comprehensive sessions, this weather field school stands as a critical step towards safeguarding both fishermen livelihoods and coastal communities and simultaneously increase the resilience of our marine ecosystems.

The Tsunami Community Preparedness Training Course will be conducted in Semester II, 2022. It is a continuation of the previous training (online-Basic Tsunami Ready Training Course). This training course provides the knowledge and skill to test the community's response capability. The course design will be like a Training of Trainers (ToT). Course contents will cover presentation, discussion, and sharing experiences on a case study of tsunami-ready and practical sessions including a site visit to a tsunami-ready community in Indonesia.

This is an introductory-level training course providing the basic understanding of performance-based community readiness concept toward tsunami hazard based on 12 tsunami preparedness indicators.

The objective of this training course is to build the capacity of participants to enable them to provide assistance on building a tsunami ready community in Indonesia.
