Early Warning System

The largest tsunami, which struck 11 nations that border the Indian Ocean, was a complete surprise for the people living there. Many seismic networks recorded marine earthquake, but there was no tidal sensors other than wave sensors to provide confirmation as to whether a tsunami had been generated. There was no established communication network or organization infrastructure to pass a warning of any kind to the people living at coastlines. No tsunami warning system exists for the Indian Ocean as it exists in the Pacific Ocean. There should need for Early warning Center set up in Indian ocean and every country within the Indian ocean part of this for sharing information .In India for whole costal line there should be warning center both for cyclone and tsunami. There should be need for start a research based on tsunami and its impact.
