The tsunami of 26 December 2004 was a catastrophic disaster where fatalities could have been minimized if there had been an early warning system in operation and people in coastal areas would have been aware how to respond effectively to such a warning. The event caused over 250,000 fatalities, more than half of them in the Aceh province of Indonesia alone, and many others in countries as far away as Africa.
