Original Message Exercise Pacific Wave 11 will be held on 9 and 10 November 2011, and will involve multiple scenarios, played out in real time, to allow all Pacific countries to select and exercise a regional/local source tsunami event. Countries are recommended to choose only one scenario to exercise. However, countries may exercise more than one scenario simultaneously, if they wish. The exercise scenarios include major tsunamis generated by great earthquakes in the following areas:

• Kamchatka (Kuril--Kamchatka Trench)
• Ryukyu Islands (Nansei--Shoto Trench)
• Philippines--South China Sea (Manila Trench)
• Philippines--Pacific Ocean (Philippines Trench)
• Vanuatu (New Hebrides Trench)
• Tonga (Tonga Trench)
• Northern Chile (Peru--Chile Trench)
• Ecuador (Colombia--Ecuador Trench)
• Central America (Middle America Trench)
• Aleutian Islands (Aleutian Trench)

In each exercise scenario, the simulated tsunami will be propagate in real time. Each scenario will be started during the morning hours in the tsunami source region, and will last for approximately six to nine hours to simulate the earthquake occurrence.
