Australian Tsunami Warning System (ATWS) is a national effort involving the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (Bureau), Geoscience Australia (GA) and Emergency Management Australia (EMA) to provide a comprehensive tsunami warning system capable of delivering timely and effective tsunami warnings to the tsunami warning australia 2010 population by 2009.

Tsunami' is a Japanese word, which translates as 'harbour wave', now used internationally to refer to a series of waves travelling across the ocean with extremely long wavelengths (up to hundreds of kilometres between wave crests in the deep ocean). Tsunami are usually the result of a sudden rise or fall of a section of the earth's crust under or near the ocean. A seismic disturbance can displace the water column, creating a rise or fall in the level of the ocean above. This rise or fall in sea level is the initial impulse generating a tsunami wave.
Tsunami are recorded in tsunami warning australia 2010  about once every two years, and most are small and present little threat of land inundation to our coastal communities. However the abnormal waves, tides and currents caused by even relatively small tsunami can be dangerous to swimmers and mariners.

As a result of the Australian Tsunami Warning System (ATWS) Project, Australia now has a comprehensive, independent tsunami warning service to advise the media, public and emergency authorities of any tsunami threat to Australia and its offshore territories.
