If that is the case Andrea, then why is there now suddenly talk and plans in the making for doing just that, i.e. "installing a tsunami warning system" similar to the one that is in the Pacific? IMO it is not because they have lacked financial or technical resources (they could ask and could receive help not only financially but technically from other more prosperous Countries if they so desired), but also if they parlayed their resources together they should have no problem attaining their goal of a cohesive and effective warning system in the Indian Ocean and surrounding areas.

Besides, where there is a will there is a way I always say. Apparently the Governments didn't have the desire or will to do it. At least they didn't before this tragedy happened. Hopefully they have changed their minds. And as I said; there IS now talk of installing a early warning system. So obviously if they didn't have the resources they wouldn't be talking now about installing one, would they?

Best regards,
