Vietnam plans to install a Tsunami Warning
System that will cover the coastal areas, more populated islands, and 13 cities
and provinces nationwide, which are most at risk of being hit by a tsunami and
high tidal waves.
The
target areas include the central provinces of Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quang Tri,
Thua Thien Hue, Da Nang, Quang Nam, Quang Ngai and the southern provinces of
Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, Khanh Hoa, Ninh Thuan, Binh Thuan and Ba Ria-Vung Tau.
In
addition to building of posts in localities linked to the Tsunami Early Warning
System, there will also be a tsunami information network run by the Global
Physics Institute; Central Steering Committees; and local disaster management
centres, set up by local authorities and residents.
The
tsunami information network will ensure that a tsunami warning reaches the
people and area affected at the shortest possible time. While the Global
Physics Institute will serve as an exclusive monitoring agency responsible for
transmitting tsunami warnings, besides supervising and analysing tsunami
threats in Vietnam.
The
Tsunami Early Warning System will begin construction in 2012 and is expected to
be complete by 2016.
All
coastal areas of Vietnam are at risk of being hit by a tsunami and high tidal
waves, particularly along the coast line between the central provinces of Quang
Binh and Binh Thuan.
