webfact Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Tsunami fears: Two warning signals on Phi Phi not working Picture: Daily News Two towers on popular holiday island Koh Phi Phi in Thailand's south have tsunami warnings that are not working. Some 700 people died on the island in the 2004 Asian tsumani that killed around 5,000 people in Thailand. The news comes just days after thousands were believed killed in an earthquake and tsunami in Indonesia. The 2004 tsunami originated in a quake off Sumatra also in Indonesia. Signals are sent via satellite to 32 towers throughout the Krabi region. Up until August the system was tested every 1st and 15th of the month by playing the Thai national anthem. Since August this has changed to every Wednesday. Prasert Wongna, deputy mayor of Ao Nang district told Daily News yesterday that two of four towers on Koh Phi Phi were not relaying the signal. These were at Ton Sai Bay and Ban Koh Phi Phi school. The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation has been informed of the failed test.

connda Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Purely reactionary as usual. There will be new state-of-the-art warning systems installed immediately after the next killer tsunami. Those too will fall into disrepair before the tsunami after next hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
