The
disastrous 26th December 2004 earthquake
that struck the
unmonitored
Indian Ocean has to date caused the death of over 230,000 lives in
across 11 countries. Although an international system of buoys and
monitoring stations spans the Pacific, no such system guards the Indian
Ocean.
Asian
governments are currently discussing
plans to coordinate efforts
to develop an Indian Ocean system.
In the current absence, I
would like
to offer this as an interim aid. While this may not represent the most
accurate estimations, it's certainly on the side of caution and
probability.
