The coordinating role of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission in the implementation of the Tsunami Research, Development and Implementation Plan within the framework of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) is considered. The structural composition of the Intergovernmental Coordination Group on the system of early warning about tsunamis and mitigation of their consequences in the North-East Atlantic, the Mediterranean Sea and adjacent seas is presented. Attention is focused on the potential threats to coastal infrastructure in the Black Sea from the probable movement of explosive objects along with the tsunami in the water areas contaminated by them. It is proposed to develop and approve the relevant provisions on the functional subsystems of early warning about tsunamis as part of the unified state civil protection system.
