Terrifying video shows tsunami crashing into the Indonesian band

I don't understand. Why is Indonesia not investing in early warning systems?
 
Reason: Insulting a religion
I don't understand. Why is Indonesia not investing in early warning systems?

Why does Indonesia need something mundane like an early warning system. Indonesia is a Muslim country and is protected by Allah. Just need to pray more.
 
thats why they nachna gana is haram

simply because human is now not capable of predicting in advance.

yesterday's forecast, it was suppose to be 7 degree today
today's Forecast, cold and snow today
best forecast: after time is passed.
 
The distance between the land and Tsunami starting point was so close that an early warning system was useless as reported by TV.
 
Indonesia has no early warning system for volcanic tsunamis: BNPB

The government said on Sunday following a "volcanic tsunami" in the Sunda Strait that the country did not have any early warning system for tsunamis not caused by earthquakes.

National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said there had been no warning about the Sunda Strait tsunami because Indonesia did not yet have any early warning system for tsunamis caused by underwater landslides or volcanoes in the sea.

He said that, according to a report from the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), the tsunami that happened on Saturday night was likely to have been caused by an underwater landslide caused by volcanic activity of Mount Anak Krakatau, combined with an unusually high tidal wave because of the full moon.

The BMKG stated in a press release that a tsunami hit coastal areas of western Banten and southern Lampung at 9:27 p.m. Earlier on Saturday evening, the BMKG had said the disaster was not a tsunami but a high tidal wave.

At midday on Sunday, the confirmed death toll of the tsunami had reached 168, while 745 people were reported injured and at least 30 missing. At least 585 homes have been destroyed, nine hotels severely damaged, 60 restaurants damaged and 350 boats damaged.

The western coast of Banten is a popular tourist destination. Many of the victims were vacationers.

The coastal areas most severely affected by the tsunami were Pandeglang regency, Serang, and South Lampung. In Pandeglang regency, most casualties were reported at the Mutiara Carita Cottage Hotel, the Tanjung Lesung Hotel and Sambolo village.

“According to preliminary data, there are no foreign casualties, only Indonesians,” he said.

Sutopo said the BMKG, the Geological Institute, the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT) and the Ministry of Maritime Affairs were continuing their investigation to confirm whether or not the tsunami had been caused by Mount Anak Krakatau’s volcanic activity.
