Tsunami warning program for Windows and Mac

NEW DELHI: While the south-east Asian countries are still struggling to get back to normalcy after the havoc created by killer Tsunami waves and a need for Tsunami alert systems is being strongly felt by all, two students from University of Technology in Sydney have developed a Tsunami warning program for Windows and Mac PCs. Said an online report.

Christened as 'Tsunami Warning Widget (TWW)', it is a PROGSOC project that can warn against impending Tsunami disasters. According to Marcus Schappi and Christian Kent, the brains behind the program, they got the inspiration to develop this widget after reading a column from famous technologist Robert X. Cringely, which said that Tsuanmi warning systems can be build in short time using the data available on the Internet.

The program runs as a Konfabulator widget and gets its data from US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Tsunami warning bulletin.
