Indian Ocean Tsunami Detector
By Tea Vui Huang
The disastrous 26th December 2004 earthquake that struck the unmonitored Indian Ocean caused the death of over 117,000 lives in 11 countries. Mobile Tsunami Detector is a tsunami prediction program that filters and analyses LIVE data from the United States Geological Surveys (USGS) Earthquake reading. Probability and impact time of Tsunamis are assessed and reported immediately for countries bordering the Indian Ocean.
