BNPB: Indonesia Does Not Have Tsunami Early Warning Due to Underwater Landslides

faktual indonesia. Jakarta - The number of victims of the tsunami disaster in the Sunda Strait is suspected because there was no early warning system. Indonesia does not yet have a tsunami warning system caused by underwater landslides.

"There is no tsunami early warning, because Indonesia does not have a tsunami warning system generated by underwater avalanches," said BNPB Head of Data and Public Relations Center Sutopo Purwo Nugroho in his office, Jakarta, Tuesday (12/25/2018).


The underwater avalanche caused by the activity of Mount Anak Krakatau was unexpectedly affected by the tsunami. Moreover, before Mount Anak Krakatau erupted more violently, but did not have an impact on the tsunami.

"This is our challenge in the future to prioritize a tsunami early warning system that is generated by underwater avalanches," Sutopo said.


Gunung Anak Krakatau surfaced in 1927, after the eruption of Mount Krakatau erupted on August 27, 1883. Gunung Anak Krakatau increased by an average of 4-6 meters per year on average. The height of the mountain now reaches 300 meters above sea level.
