After the 2010 Chile Tsunami, the International Tsunami Information Center (ITIC) was asked to update the booklet to add information on historical and potential tsunami sources off South America, Middle America, and in the Caribbean. In addition, lessons learned from the 2010 tsunami were included in this booklet which was published in Spanish by UNESCO IOC in 2012 (see below). In 2014, Spanish portions were translated into English by the International Tsunami Information Center, and the booklet printed with financing from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Tsunami Program. This 2014 edition will be updated in French and Spanish.
