Ua hoʻokūpaʻa ka United Nations he 18 mau ʻāina a puni ka ʻĀina ʻInikia e komo i ka hana tsunami i kākoʻo ʻia e United Nations ma ka lā 14 ʻOkakopa i kapa ʻia ʻo "Exercise Indian Ocean Wave 09."

Ma hope o ke kai eʻe i ka makahiki 2004, ua kōkua ʻo UNESCO - ma o kāna Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) - i nā ʻāina o ka ʻāina i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka Pūnaehana Aʻoaʻo a me ka Mitigation Tsunami o India (IOTWS).
ʻO ka drill e hiki mai ana, e like me ka UN, e hoʻāʻo a loiloi i ka pono o ka ʻōnaehana, e ʻike i nā nāwaliwali a me nā wahi o ka hoʻomaikaʻi, a me ka pahuhopu e hoʻonui i ka mākaukau a hoʻomaikaʻi i ka hoʻohui ʻana a puni ka ʻāina.
"E hana hou ka hana i ka ōlaʻi 9.2 ka nui i kū mai ke kahakai komohana o Sumatra, Indonesia, i ka makahiki 2004, e hoʻokumu ana i kahi kai eʻe e luku ana i nā ʻāina mai ʻAukekulelia a ʻApelika Hema," wahi a ka UN.
E laha aku ke kai eʻe i hoʻohālikelike ʻia i ka manawa maoli ma ka moana ʻInikia holoʻokoʻa, ma kahi o 12 mau hola e huakaʻi ai mai Indonesia a i ke kapakai o ʻApelika Hema. E hoʻopuka ʻia nā Bulletins e ka Japan Meteorogical Agency (JMA) ma Tokyo a me ka Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) ma Hawaii, ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, i lawelawe ʻia ma ke ʻano he lawelawe aʻoaʻo kūkākūkā mai 2005.

ʻO nā ʻāina e komo ana i ka drill o kēia pule aʻe, ʻo Australia, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Madagascar, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritius, Mozambique, Myanmar, Oman, Pakistan, Seychelles, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Tanzania a me Timor-Leste.
Wahi a ka UN, ua mālama ʻia kahi drill like i ʻOkakopa 2008 e hoʻāʻo i ka Pacific Warning Warning and Mitigation System (PTWS). Ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia kēlā ʻōnaehana hoʻolaha mua i ka Caribbean, ke Kaiwaenahonua a me ka ʻĀkau ʻAkelanika ʻAkelanika a me nā kai pili.
ʻO ke kuhina nui o Nā Aupuni Hui Pū ʻIa ʻo Ban Ki-moon i kēia pule i hōʻike nui i ke kuleana o ka ʻikepili a me ka ʻenehana kamaʻilio (ICT) i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā pilikia nui, e like me ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka pōʻino kūlohelohe. "Ma o ka ʻepekema maikaʻi o ke aniau a me ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i ka ʻike, hiki i nā ICT ke kōkua i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka makaʻu a me ka hopena o nā pōʻino kūlohelohe," i haʻi aku ʻo ia i nā poʻo o ka Mokuʻāina a me nā Luna Hoʻokele i hele i Telecom World 2009 ma Geneva. "Ke hiki mai kahi ōlaʻi, hiki i kahi ʻōnaehana i hoʻopili ʻia ke nānā i nā hanana, e hoʻouna i nā leka uila a kōkua i ka poʻe e kūpale."
Hoʻonohonoho ʻia e ka UN International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Telecom World kahi hanana kūikawā no ke kaiāulu ICT e hōʻuluʻulu ana i nā inoa kiʻekiʻe mai nā ʻoihana a puni ka honua. Hōʻike ka papa kūkā o kēia makahiki i ka hiki a me ke kuleana o ke kelekamaʻilio a me ka ICT i nā wahi e like me ka hoʻokaʻawale kikohoʻe, ka hoʻololi i ke aniau, a me nā kōkua pōʻino.
