Hyderabad has been recognized as the Regional Tsunami Service Provider (RTSP) for the Indian Ocean region by UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC). The Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS), located in Hyderabad, is responsible for providing tsunami warnings.

INCOIS operates the Indian Tsunami Early Warning Centre (ITEWC) and serves as an RTSP for 25 Indian Ocean littoral countries, providing tsunami advisories.

Following the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, significant efforts were made to establish an effective tsunami early warning system in the region. INCOIS was designated as one of the key centers for this purpose.
