Preparing for the next Tsunami

After 2004 Tsunami, Indonesia started working on a warning system of its own. With the help of the Germany a project was developed to deal with the dangerous waves. The new warning system has new computer software that examines how Tsunami waves behave. It also shows where an earthquake happens and how powerful it is. In order to save as many lives as possible the system passes on the information to other stations within minutes. It is of utmost importance that we must also install such warning system because of our large coastline. MEDIHA ASHRAF, Karachi, September6.
