An earthquake that occurred off of the coast of Sumatra on October 25th, 2010 triggered a tsunami that decimated at least 10 villages and killed close to 300 people. On the island of Java, Mount Merapi, Indonesia's most active volcano, erupted.

In 2004, the most deadly tsunami ever recorded battered Indonesia, killing hundreds of thousands of people. In response to this devastating event, tsunami early warning systems were both implemented and updated. Yet despite these renovations, the warning systems failed to provide sufficient warning to Indonesians.

We continue to watch the poor people of Indonesia suffer environmental catastrophes, yet the warning systems seem only to degrade. **Sign the petition calling on the UN to improve early earthquake and tsunami warning systems for areas that are particularly susceptible to disasters such as these.**
