Global alert system still too slow

The Advertiser: Global alert system still too slow


Can you detect small tremors before the larger ones become apparent? I was listening to an Australian guy being interviewed on ABC Radio National news who was on a boat on one of the nearby islands. He said it rattled his anchor chains and it was really weird and his thoughts were of how much worse it would be on land. His boat is now helping to transport medicine and whatever else might be needed. Human beings can be just so great. We need to know. I know we are pretty good a lot of things and we may just be waking up to moving ourselves a bit faster along this particular technological path, but we do need to know so that the massive loss of life, especially to women, is avoided. But globally we are all alert. Very alert to this.
