from earthquakes to hurricanes and tropical storms, landslides, volcanic eruptions, floods and avalanches no nation is immune from the threat of natural disasters. Early warning systems attempt to assess risks and reduce the threat to life, property and the environment in general, gathering scientific research available.
meteorological surveys, geological surveys, and satellite monitoring can be combined with historical records of past events and statistical modeling of current probabilities to give detailed information early warning for many natural disasters. Slight changes in the environment will often alert scientists and officials to potential threats in real time. But even with the most sophisticated early warning systems available today, the exact danger forecasts are always difficult because some events simply can not be predicted.
early warning systems
I see three major events of disasters that could occur in Indonesia and who would be prevented before they occur. The so-called early warning system can warn us of coming disasters such as tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
You can receive early warnings for tsunamis and earthquakes on your phone in hand although I must say I think for earthquakes name is misleading because it does not warn you when the shaking starts. Unfortunately I am not able to find anything on an early warning system for your mobile in case a volcano in your backyard bursts, but perhaps the plume of smoke above the volcano could be an indication that something is about to happen.
How does the Tsunami alarm system?
The alarm system receives Tsunami earthquake and tsunami warning information from a multiplicity of seismic measuring stations and tsunami warning stations in different countries around the world. As a subscriber, you can be sure that your alarm system Tsunami warning not missing and tsunami warnings will result in an alarm sent to your mobile phone as soon as possible.
When a tsunami warning is sent to subscribers, it is particularly important that it does not go unnoticed, so back to back three SMSs are sent. Tsunami alarm system ensures reliably that subscribers and other people you might want to warn can implement rescue measures several minutes before the arrival of a destructive tsunami.
The Tsunami alarm system works anywhere in the world covered by the GSM network, assuming your mobile phone is connected to a GSM network. 1 year subscription to the Tsunami Alarm System cost 29.95 Euro (about Rp.380,000).

Earthquake Early Warning
But remember, early warning systems do not predict earthquakes. You can find these programs in all online stores such as BB / Android and iPhone.
Other Hazards
Especially in Indonesia, in our daily life, we will face smaller risks that earthquakes and tsunamis, such as air pollution, jams and heavy rainfall. There was an electronic card near Gambir station that highlights the quality of the air. He no longer works but I think that kind of information would be great to have.
You can find information on Web traffic such as www.macetlagi.com and www.kemana.com. The two sites will give a screenshot of the state of the road.
Heavy rains and therefore Banjir (floods) in a city that has almost come to a complete stop, I can only wish that it could solve the problem because no one wants to get stuck in his car 2 km from his home for more than three or four hours. Unfortunately, we have to face these problems daily, but as said before that the mobile industry has some early warning systems in place to help us deal with one or two of them in an easier way.
And on that note, I will keep safe.
