[LINK] Tsunami warnings need to be practiced

[Tom Worthington]

Last week I gave a lecture at the ANU on emergency management using 
the web. In this I explained how tsunami warnings could be received 
on a mobile phone. But I cautioned the volume of warnings intended 
for emergency experts could cause confusion. This seems to have 
happened on Monday, with the earthquake in the Solomon Islands and 
resulting tsunami. The Queensland Government in particular seems to 
have caused panic due to poorly planned emergency warnings.
