Problems solved by technology

[0005] A disadvantage of this system is that mobile phone users must have subscribed to the service and must have their mobile phone with them to receive the tsunami warning message
However, many beachgoers (often foreign tourists) do not carry their mobile phones with them while on the beach, or do not subscribe to such services
As a result, tsunami warning messages do not reach those most at risk
Additionally, the system does not take into account the location of the phone user and all subscribers are alerted regardless of their current location

Embodiment Construction

[0038] figure 1 The illustrated embodiment includes a tsunami warning system 10 comprising a remote server 12 and a plurality of tsunami warning devices 14, figure 1 Three tsunami warning devices are shown in , and are represented by reference numerals 14, 14', 14". The tsunami warning devices 14, 14', 14" are arranged in public places that may be hit by a tsunami. For example, it is preferable to arrange it on the beach of a preferred tourist place, or at any location where many people gather. The remote server 12 monitors tsunami indicating parameters and assesses the likelihood of a tsunami. The remote server 12 may include at least one sensor 16 (eg, a seismic sensor), or it may be connected to an external system that includes a seismic sensor. Based on the seismic data, the remote server 12 can assess the risk of a tsunami. The remote server 12 includes modeling means for constructing a model of the current tsunami based on seismic data, on geographic data and, if poss...

Abstract

A tsunami warning system (10) comprising a remote server with evaluation system with means for monitoring tsunami indicating parameters (16, 20), means for determining the possibility of a tsunami occurring and means for issuing a triggering signal, wherein the evaluation system is configured to issue a triggering signal when the possibility of a tsunami occurring is identified. The tsunami warning system (10) further comprises at least one tsunami warning device (14) arranged in a public area, the tsunami warning device (14) being configured and arranged so as to provide a tsunami warning tothe general public when a triggering signal is received. The at least one tsunami warning device comprises means for also monitoring tsunami indicating parameters and means for transmitting information collected by the tsunami warning device to the remote server for integration in modelling means therein.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a tsunami warning system for warning people of an impending tsunami and the hazards of a tsunami. The invention further relates to methods for providing such tsunami warnings. Background technique [0002] The danger of tsunamis is generally well known, and has been brought into sharper focus since at least December 2004, when it devastated a vast area bordering the Indian Ocean. Early warning systems have been proposed for the purpose of providing warning information before a tsunami arrives. For example, such a warning message is issued after an underwater earthquake (which is probably considered the most common cause of a tsunami). [0003] To prevent loss of life, it is important that tsunami warnings be provided quickly to potentially affected areas so that they can be evacuated. [0004] WO 2006 / 079513 discloses a tsunami warning system in which information on the possibility of a tsunami occurrence i...
