    This document provides a summary of the Pacific Wave 11 exercise scenario in Ecuador: 1. The exercise simulates a magnitude 9.0 earthquake off the coast of Ecuador, triggering a local and regional tsunami. Various agencies and institutions are tested in their response. 2. The institutions involved include Ecuador's tsunami warning center (INOCAR), research centers, risk management agencies, and port authorities. 3. The scenario models tsunami impacts along Ecuador's continental coast and the Galapagos Islands, with tsunami waves reaching coastal areas at varying times. 4. The exercise tests the response of agencies through a series of simulated tsunami wave arrivals and impacts over a 5 hour period,
