"DART-system or any other is not the panacea," points out Synolakis. "Statistically speaking, in the Pacific, more people have been saved by awareness and self-evacuation than through warnings issued by the PTWC," he added. Indeed, even as India gears up to establish an early warning system, education of people at risk should assume top priority. Equally importantly, many more than the present handful of scientists working on the subject of tsunami would be required if instrumentation-based warning system has to be effective, particularly when the region does not have a history of tsunamis for modelling studies. Sadly, the number of skilled earth scientists in the country is declining rapidly.
