Tsunami warning system in general is a system to detect tsunamis and issue warnings to prevent the occurrence of many lives. Consisting of two main components of the sensor network to detect tsunami waves and communications infrastructure to issue an alarm or siren that allow the evacuation of coastal areas.
Many coastal areas around the Pacific, particularly Japan, Hawaii, Polynesia, Alaska and Pacific coasts of South America, have tsunami warning systems and evacuation procedures in case of a serious tsunami. While so many other ocean that do not have it, this is what causes the loss of life during the tsunami of 26 December 2004, which occurred in the Indian Ocean. In a conference organized by the UN in January 2005 in Kobe, Japan has decided that the Tsunami Warning System will be placed in the Indian Ocean as a response from the Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004.
Of course, the Tsunami Early Warning System for the provision of high-tech is in desperate need of funds immense good to the cost of infrastructure and maintenance costs. For example, as issued by Nasa's website which states that three of four tsunami warning equipment installed since 1948 have been damaged and the cost of the damage is becoming more expensive alarm. Evacuation warning system repairs in Hawaii this has cost as many as 68 million USD. From here we can imagine how great the cost of providing the Tsunami Early Warning System with this high technology.
Early warning prior to the occurrence of these natural disasters can actually be obtained naturally from a strange animal behavior prior to the disaster. Animals have potentially could be used as low-tech warning systems and of course the cost that it needs also a lot cheaper than the high-tech warning system.
Researchers have long studied the types of animals that can be expected to be heard and felt before the earth shook and before the big tsunami wave propagates toward the shore by using his senses sensitivity as predictors. Kiyoshi Shimamura, a medical doctor in Japan in September 2003 has submitted the results of studies in the mass media relating to his studies related to the strange behavior of dogs such as biting, barking that exceed the limits can be used as a tool for predicting the occurrence of an earthquake of this research is associated with the Kobe earthquake in 1995 which killed around 6,000 people. Researchers from Turkey, Sheldrake also conduct studies on animal reactions before the earthquake, including the California earthquake of 1994 and the Turkish earthquake in 1999. It was reported that dogs behave in mysterious and can not sleep at night, the birds are in the stable, looking lost and the cats looked scared and always wanted to hide before the time of the earthquake.
By analyzing various kinds of facts, theories and research related to the strange behavior of animals prior to the occurrence of natural disasters such as that described above, the sensitivity of animals diekspesikan as this strange behavior could be used as a natural disaster early warning systems both earthquakes and tsunamis. Strange behavior of animals can be used to increase alertness in humans against the disaster will happen. Of course good communication system should be constructed to disseminate early warning of tsunamis or other natural disasters through television, radio, internet or forwarding of information by word of mouth. Which is highly dependent on the length of time between the earthquake and the time needed by the tsunami propagation leading to the population around the coast, this is a very crucial time to conduct refugee communities around the coast to get to higher ground, so they were saved before the arrival of tsunami waves . Besides, education about tsunami hazards, signs of a tsunami, preparation and how to save themselves when the tsunami occurred in the whole of society is a very important factor.
Therefore, by understanding the start of the tsunami early warning with both high technology and technology with low through a strange animal behavior prior to the tsunami disaster through how to save themselves when the tsunami came, God willing, could reduce the number of casualties and did not like the tsunami disaster December 26, 2004 which killed more than 300 thousand people.
