U.S. Says Will Expand Tsunami Warning System
Posted by Paul Musgrave on 23 January 2005 | one response
New York Times reports the U.S. government has pledged to expand a tsunami warning system, which will be constructed by a consortium led by Japan, to a worldwide system to warn of all natural disasters. The Times quoted Ambassador Howard Baker, Jr.’s comments to a international conference in Kobe, Japan. The limited South Asian tsunami warning system will be built within a year to eighteen months, sources told the Times; the U.S. has given neither a timeline nor a dollar figure for its proposed global watch system.
