Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning System

The Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning System is a network of sensors, communication tools, and response centers designed to detect tsunamis early and alert nearby countries. It uses seismic stations to identify undersea earthquakes that can cause tsunamis and deep-ocean buoys to monitor sea level changes. Once a potential threat is detected, alerts are rapidly sent to coastal communities, allowing for timely evacuations and safety measures. This system enhances regional cooperation and preparedness, aiming to reduce the loss of life and property from future tsunamis in the Indian Ocean region.
