Hi
There is a tsunami warning system in Pacific Ocean.
Is it possible to create a similar system in Indian Ocean?

The world's fifth-largest quake in a century hit southern Asia on Sunday, unleashing a tsunami that crashed into Sri Lanka and India, drowning thousands and swamping tourist isles in Thailand and the Maldives.

A wall of water up to 10 meters (30 feet) high triggered by the 8.9 magnitude earthquake swept into Indonesia, over the coast of Sri Lanka and India and across southern Thai tourist islands, leaving up to 3,100 feared dead in seaside towns and villages.

Hi
The latest update: 23000 people are dead.
The tsunami had reached East Africa and Oman/Yemen.
2 people in Kenya, 9 people in  Seychelles and 16 people in Somalia are dead. Fortunately East African governments had issued warnings.
If there were no warning in Africa, the number of casualties may reach 40 thousand / more.

===========================================
East African Standard:

Two people were reportedly killed and a third seriously injured in Watamu late yesterday as the Kenyan coastal beaches were hurriedly evacuated to avert a disaster linked to a tidal wave occasioned by a strong earthquake which devastated southern Asia claiming more than 7,000 people. Property of unknown value including boats was destroyed near Watamu location where the effects of the tidal wave was severe. The dead were identified by the local community.
They were swimming at the time and were swept by the raging waves.

The Government immediately issued an alert urging for great care for those inhabiting the more than 1,000 kilometre Kenyan coastline.
Environment Minister Kalonzo Musyoka said people living on the path of the phenomenon should take precautions against and avoid venturing into the beaches until further notice.
Kalonzo told The Standard, he had been in touch with his counterpart in the Indian Ocean island of Sychelles where the biggest impact of tsunami on the east African coast had been felt earlier in the day.

===========================================
Independent  Online (South Africa):

In the Seychelles, nine people were reported missing and a key bridge linking the country's main airport and the capital, Victoria, was destroyed. In Somalia, at least 16 people were feared dead.
Nine people were reported missing in the north-eastern Kabaal region, and seven in the port of Elmaan, 35km north of Mogadishu.

Hi
In Aceh, similar to Brazil, on certain month, the sea will surge slowly to the coastal area and create lagoons / lakes for several weeks. Because of global warming, the size of submerged area increase each year.
The rise of sea level may increase the damage from the Tsunami by increasing the size of disaster area.

Aceh really need good communication & wireless Internet (for aid distribution /coordination). The wireless can also be used for future schools in Aceh.

The military often use Aerostat / Baloon for rapid deployment of wireless telecommunication.

If Aceh can get project Capanina, perhaps this baloon can also be used for:
1. Tsunami early warning system by receiving signals from buoy / instruments at the sea.
2. Replacing BTS / damaged Cellphone network.
3. TV, radio transmission.
4. High speed internet for aid distribution / coordination.
5. Education in future schools.
6. Tele Medicine / major hospitals / medical specialist can support small regional hospitals.
7. Radar / Air Traffic regulator.

Is it possible to implement / buy Capanina from EU for Aceh / Srilanka?
