Tsunami Warning system
[...] The problem in the Indian Ocean apparently was that nobody took the threat very seriously. The question was looked at in South East Asia last year and little was done. And yet, seismologists knew there had been a major earthquake near Indonesia. Even a basic e-mail or phone system could have helped some communities get to safety. The sea surges would take time to reach the shore. But nobody knew what numbers to call. [via the BBC] cf related Tsunami/cell phone stories posted in Textually.org. |
