Wake-up call

Eight million dollars - not a huge sum of money - has been pledged to set up an Indian Ocean tsunami warning system.

At the conference in Kobe, Jan Egeland, UN Undersecretary General for Humanitarian Affairs, said: “All disaster-prone people deserve to have early warning systems, not just the Indian Ocean. The tsunami was the wake-up call for all of us.”

We need one in the Atlantic as well.
