Abstract
This study present the implementation of a Tsunami forecast system for Galapagos Islands. This system is formed by the development of short andlong term forecast models. The fi is used in real time, with the information of the ocurrence of a tsunami event in the Pacific Ocean, in order to predict thephysical effects of the impact on islands. While, the long term forecast, is used to identify tsunami generation zones with potential threat to damage theislands and also is used to have a reference to evaluate a particular event. The numerical model used to get both forecasts is MOST (Method of splittingTsunamis) with ComMIT methodology (Community Model Interface for Tsunami), which has been adapted to local conditions.
