Tsunami Detection Buoys Deployed: Java

It might be a case of shutting the gate after the horse has bolted with regard to the devastating Tsunami that hit Aceh, but, at last Indonesia will deploy a new tsunami detection buoy off the western shore of Java island on Wednesday as part of efforts to revive its early warning system hit by technical problems.

Jakarta first began setting up a tsunami warning system after the devastating December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that left 230,000 dead or missing, including 170,000 in the archipelagic Asian country.
