Talk:Tsunami warning system

message: I think at the least this sentence: "To this day, no people have been saved from a tsunami by a tsunami warning system." should be attributed with a source.  Since the  Pacific Tsunami Warning Center was established in 1949 and the West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center was established in 1967, and both have issued numerous warnings over the years, the statement is difficult to believe--but more importantly,it seems impossible to prove.

message: 'Animal Infrasoud' as Tsunami detection is far from being proven science(more like urban myth), though it is presented this way. In any case, it does not belong here. If someone can find a citation, this section belongs in an article on this subject.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.149.62.148 (talk) 08:09, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree it doesn't belong. I searched on this topic a bit. While it is well established that elephants use infrasound frequencies as low as 15 Hz for communication, I found no evidence that they hear below 10 Hz.  According to Tsunami, the wave's frequency is on the order of 0.001 Hz (20 to 30 minutes period), so I don't think any reasonable person would claim elephants heard the wave coming. It is more likely they listened to the news of the quake, and knew enough geophysics to infer the risk.  I don't really think elephants understand geophysics; I'm just saying that's more likely than this claim about them sensing a tsunami. Spiel496 (talk) 20:06, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

text: Looks like no one is coming to the defense of the elephant-based tsunami warning system. Additionally, it has been pointed out the material is off-topic. Even if someone can find some properly-referenced material, it would belong in 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami or Elephant, not here. I'm removing the section.

message: Dear members,
we just developed an internet-based application that sends sms messages to users' cell phoones should an Earthquake or Tsunami occur (web based Tsunami Warning System).
Does it make sense to add an external link at this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsunami_warning_system that points to our new site: http://www.sms-tsunami-warning.com ?
I understand Wikipedia does not endorse advertising but this is not our purpose for the addition. We truly believe this service is extremely useful for users in endangered areas and its content is relevant to the subject.
Looking forward to receiving your feedback
Thank you for your attention.

message: Is the siren sound internationally standardised? So can there be a single sound clip that can be made available on the page, or are several required for local variation??

message: There is said to be a main article for North Eastern Atlantic, the Mediterranean and Connected Seas Tsunami Warning System but it doesn't fucking exist. I cannot see anything with a name that is that fucking close. Should there be such an fucking article? Maitchy (talk) 17:00, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: This should probably be added to this article, but a correction was made and now it is the National Weather Service that issued the warning.— Vchimpanzee •  talk • contributions •  19:25, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

message: I’m a little confused by the articles lead. I understand how tsunami warning systems (TWS) prevent deaths and injuries, but how do TWS’ prevent property damage? Juneau Mike (talk) 17:02, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
