Earthquake Reports and Tsunami Warnings by SMS

A new Tsunami website now shows when and where earthquakes occur and how dangerous they are, plans to send out SMS alerts targeted at journalists and relief agencies.

Tsunami Alert website is connected to several hundred measurement stations all over the world and immediately analyses the results and then publishes them on the website. The service complements its existing text message Tsunami Alarm System.

... It is hoped that by providing earthquake warnings within a few minutes to journalists and disaster helpers time can be saved and aid can be sent to stricken regions much faster. [via 160characters.org].
