| India has established a $32 million tsunami early warning center to warn 400 million people on its coast of impending danger.
The center, based in Hyderabad, can issue alerts within 13 minutes of getting data from seismic stations in the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea. A tsunami off Indonesia in 2004 killed 230,000 people in a dozen countries, including almost 11,000 in India. |
