Disaster-hit Indonesia could be at risk of more tsunamis and the lack of an early warning system leaves the already vulnerable country at the mercy of further danger.

The death toll has reached 281 with 843 injured and as emergency services scramble to help while people search for their families in the rubble, they are still in danger as Anak Krakatau continues to erupt.

Speaking at a news conference on the island of Java, National Disaster Management Agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho warned that the risk of more tsunamis wasn’t over.

Krakatoa volcano erupts in Indonesia before ‘causing tsunami’ which has so far killed 281

He said: ‘Recommendations from Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysical Agency (BMKG) are that people should not carry out activities on the beach and stay away from the coast for a while.

‘The potential for a fresh tsunami is still possible because the volcanic eruption of Anak Krakatau continues to occur, potentially triggering tsunami.’

The revelation is made all the more shocking considering the country’s devastation after the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake occurred, killing 227,898. …….more here
