"Indian Ocean nations test new tsunami alert system" by Denis D. Gray, Associated Press | October 15, 2009
BANGKOK - Sirens blared, parents grabbed their children, and hundreds ran to emergency shelters in Indonesia as countries bordering the Indian Ocean conducted a test yesterday of a warning system set up after the devastating 2004 tsunami.
But at least one survivor was too paralyzed by memories of the killer wave to take part in mock evacuations off Aceh, Indonesia.
“What’s this all for? My chest has gone tight, and I am shaking,’’ said Hamiyah, 58, a woman who lost her in-laws, four children, and five grandchildren.
Oh!
Planned for 18 countries, the drill was intended to simulate a tsunami similar to the one sparked by the 9.2-magnitude quake off Indonesia five years ago, the UN said in a statement. That quake generated waves that eradicated entire coastal communities, killing some 230,000 people in one of the worst natural disasters of modern times.
In Aceh’s Ulee Lheue village, all but wiped out by the tsunami, about 200 residents gathered at a mosque after an explosion was sounded from loudspeakers that was meant to signal an earthquake. Ten minutes later, a siren blared out, starting the drill. “We want to send the message to the world that we continue to improve our disaster mitigation skills,’’ said Aceh Vice Governor Muhammad Nazar.
So WHY NO MENTION of the CURRENT CRISIS in the REGION, MSM?

I'm certainly expecting a reaction of the tectonic plates on this side of the pacific in response to what has occurred.
Btw, what about those rains?
MSM sure does have a SHORT MEMORY!
