Monday January 03, 2005 | Tsunami Early Warning System | Life |
This
Oddly Enough article describes strange elephant behavior prior to the devastating tsunamis. We are constantly hearing tales of animals and their "sixth sense" to detect natural disasters. While a more reasonable theory is that these animals are more sensitive to sounds outside the range of humans, it does bring up the point that there are things to be detected, even the animals' reactions themselves.
There are criticisms over the region not having a proper warning system. It seems to me that while plans for a high tech solution should still move forward, a lower tech solution could also be created. If strange animal behavior could be reported to a central location, just the preponderance of reports could be enough to trigger a warning that caution is warranted in the area.
Just an idea off the top of my head.
