As part of a major initiative to improve public safety in vulnerable coastal areas, the French Pacific Region has implemented a comprehensive tsunami warning system for years, including the installation of a hundred Telegrafia sirens. We are pleased to announce that one of the most attractive locations on the coast, Teahupo’o, chosen to host the Olympic surfing events for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, has been protected by the 4th generation Pavian 1200 W siren.  

The French Polynesia Population Tsunami Alert System is powered by a network of Pavian sirens, each with unique power outputs. These sirens are strategically positioned and meticulously calibrated to ensure their messages cut through natural and ambient noise, delivering urgent warnings with clarity. They are designed to communicate specific warnings, ensuring communities receive timely and precise information about approaching tsunamis. The satellite control of these sirens further enhances their operational efficiency, enabling rapid deployment and adjustment in response to changing environmental conditions and evolving threats. 

A tsunami siren is a critical component of coastal safety systems designed to alert communities about the impending threat of a tsunami. These sirens play a vital role in ensuring that residents and visitors are promptly informed when an earthquake occurs or when other conditions trigger a tsunami warning. Here are the images of the 4th generation Pavian 1200 W siren, which has become a distinctive feature of the beautiful local coastal landscape. The siren was strategically positioned next to the Teahupo’o Olympic site, a location renowned for its breathtaking waves and vibrant surf culture. As the site prepared to welcome athletes from around the world, the siren’s presence and readiness for action within the tsunami alert system instilled confidence in the system’s ability to respond to emergencies, thereby contributing to improving local safety.
