DLR-Webcast: Decision Support System for Tsunami Early Warning
(11:11 Min.) On 11 November 2008, almost four years after the
devastating tsunami catastrophe, President Susilo Bambang
Yudhoyono of Indonesia inaugurated the InaTEWS tsunami early
warning system (Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System) in the
Indonesian capital Jakarta. Germany has made a significant
contribution to this system. The German Remote Sensing Data
Center (Deutsches Fernerkundungsdatenzentrum; DFD) of the German
Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt;
DLR) has developed and put in place a Decision Support System
(DSS) for InaTEWS, which will enable significantly improved
tsunami early warning for the Indian Ocean. To see the video,
