摘要

According to the latest estimates, the tsunami that struck countries with coasts on the Indian Ocean in December 2004 caused nearly 300,000 deaths. Had an early warning system been in place in the region, the toll would not have been as heavy. UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission set up such a tsunami alert system in the Pacific in 1965, and is now working on a world-wide one that will be operational by June 2007. Laura Kong, Director of the International Tsunami Information Centre based in Hawaii, outlines the project's benefits.
