Early Warning System –Tsunami

Kepanikan terjadi di Aceh karena terpicu alarm tsunami yang sempat berbunyi 4 Juni.
Maskipun alarm itu ternyata tidak dengan benar menduga tsunami,tetapi akan sangat menghawatirkan kalau masyarakat jadi kebal. Kalau ada alarm yang benar tentang adanyan tsunami malah jadi ragu atau nggak percaya.

Di Detikinet:Menneg Ristek Kusmayanto Kadiman mengakui teknologi secanggih apa pun memang tidak bisa 100 persen diandalkan,termasuk terkait early warning system tsunami. “Itulah teknologi,saya pikir 100 persen untuk dapat diandalkan ya tidak bisa”.

Apa ‘early warning sistem’itu ?

Menurut Shield Risk Consulting:
Early Warning System (EWS) is a subscription-based security product with a built-in alert system. EWS primarily addresses companies with employees stationed overseas,frequent business travel or substantial assets in high-risk countries. Subscribers receive security-related information in situations where existing or expected events could lead to major financial losses or fatalities. This may relate to acts of war,terrorist attacks,coup d’états,natural disasters or other events that call for an increased level of security. EWS is adapted to the individual requirements of subscribers. Each client will therefore only receive warnings when we obtain vital news they should be informed of – not in less important cases.

Di lexical databasenya Princeton University WordNet®
Early warning system:a network of radar installations designed to detect enemy missiles or aircraft while there is still time to intercept them.

Di en.wikipedia.org
A tsunami warning system is a system to detect tsunamis and issue warnings to prevent loss of life and property. It consists of two equally important components:a network of sensors to detect tsunamis and a communications infrastructure to issue timely alarms to permit evacuation of coastal areas.

Meskipun dari ketiga definisi diatas nyata berbeda ketiganya,berbeda kasus yang dilihat dan berbeda apa yang ingin dicapai. Tetapi pada dasarnya tujuan utama sistem ini adalah untuk mencegah / sebagai tindakan preventif agar dapat mengurangi / kalau mungkin menghilangkan kerugian / kemungkinan terjadinya sesuatu ( misalnya jatuhnya korban jiwa atau harta benda) dengan cara mengetahui adanya kemungkinan ancaman.

Sebelum lebih jauh tentang EWS. Mari kita lihat bagaimana tsunami bisa terjadi ( Sumber:en.wikipedia.org ):
