Disaster-plagued Indonesia will become the first Southeast Asian country to employ an advanced Japanese early warning system for earthquakes and tsunami.
Minister for Internal Affairs and Communications Yoshitaka Shindo of Japan and Indonesian Communications and Information Minister Tifatul Sembiring signed a bilateral cooperation document on April 29 that would create a system based on Japan’s domestic emergency warning system. Manufacturers such as NTT Data Corp. and Hitachi Ltd. will join the project to help in the creation of the system. |
