Still on the subject of the Tsunami, Israel is finding new and innovative ways to help:
An Israeli company said on Monday it planned to distribute free to Asian countries hit by last week`s tsunami a device it says could save lives by warning holiday-makers directly that a tidal wave is coming.The system developed by Israeli inventor Meir Gitelis uses land and water sensors, smaller than a shoe box and each costing $170, to measure seismic activity and wave motion.Like other systems already in operation, the sensors can send alerts in seconds by satellite to governments anywhere in the world. Unlike others, this system can also relay warnings directly to private subscribers over cellphones, pagers or dedicated receivers, spreading the message more widely.
