The new European project &lt;em&gt;Near-field Tsunami Early Warning and Emergency Planning in the Mediterranean Sea&lt;/em&gt; (NEARTOWARN) faces the need to develop operational tsunami early warning systems in near-field (local) conditions where the travel time of the first tsunami wave is very short, that is less than 30 min, which is a typical case in the North East Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea region but also elsewhere around the globe. The operational condition that should be fulfille
