Vietnam to launch first tsunami warning stations



TUOITRE

Vietnam’s first two early tsunami warning stations in the central city of Danang have been completed and will be put into trial operation on May 15.

The announcement was made yesterday by Do Phong Doanh, deputy director of military-owned telecom group Viettel's branch in Danang.

Under the permission of the Danang People’s Committee Viettel, Viettel built the two stations in Hoa Hiep Nam Ward in Linh Chieu District and at the Son Tra border station in Son Tra District.

Each of the stations has a 35 m-high antenna for wave absorption and an alarm system with a high-capacity siren speaker.

When the antenna receives tsunami signals, the alarm siren system will be activated and alert residents about the upcoming tsunami so that they can take safety measures.

In addition to these two centers, Viettel will set up 8 more stations in Danang to provide such information as how powerful and how high the tsunami is going to be, when it will come, which areas may be most affected, and which areas people should move to.
