Dear reader, please upgrade to the latest version of IE to have a better reading experience. The test and one carried out a day earlier, simulating another quake off Indonesia, were designed to check an early-warning system set up after the Indian Ocean tsunami which killed more thanpeople. The exercise organised by the United Nations was based com a hypothetical 9. A repeat would likely have a devastating effect on Pakistan nationally, since Karachi, the country's main port, accounts for around 42 per cent of national GDP. In the event of a tsunami, real-time data would be sent to the Met Office in Karachi from Indonesian, Australian and Indian centres. An alarm would sound when an alert was issued and the team would start disseminating the data to around a dozen disaster management com. But it is not clear whether Karachi has a tsunami evacuation plan, or whether one would even be feasible in the chaotic, sprawling city. As well as the Makran Trench, Pakistan also straddles the boundary between the Eurasian and Indian plates, and is hit by earthquakes from time to time. And in September last year a 7. Unfortunately, we never go for precautionary measures in advance. Our indonesia are com uninterested or they lack foresight. God forbid in case of even a small disaster, our institutions and systems are totally incapable of responding in an effective manner. We have witnessed this on so many occasions. The government is not capable of handling even small emergency events. Tsunami will bring total destruction to Karachi if it happens, God forbid, Sindh government, controlled by waderas, is only busy inventing new ways to steal money and is least concerned about any indonesia in Karachi. If its not self created like the current flood. Tsunami can be created by a good blast in deep sea. AJamal Yes, the gravity of the situation doesnt seem to sink, however hypothetical it may be. There was a grave danger of a typhoon more than 10 years ago and similar low level storm warnings since but the city and the people for no fault of their own to be fair weren't capabae of handling it, should the disaster have hit us, God forbid. All the com of the people vacating their beachfront properties but some leaving their servants and support staff behind to look after it was terrifying and sickening at the same time. May Karachi and the coastline bi protected from such calamities. Take this forex, similar report was published in a local daily in Kashmir IOK in that in five years devastating floods will engulf whole Srinagar city and adjuring areas but nobody gave a heard. But now we see the flood is there and people are running for survival. Take this seriously and take some steps to cater with com. Yes, it is right. Karachi is prone to earthquake as well as Makran coast. I have experienced indonesia small earthquakes in Pasni on frequent basis. There is no remedy to tsunami but timely evacuation provided it is received. I am not pessimistic but tsunami? We can not plan for ordinary floods in our indonesia despite the fact that we have at least ONE YEAR before the next time floods come. So how can we prepare for something unimaginable, unexpected and in extremely large proportions to floods? Tsunami caused by major earthquake is a real danger to the adjoining areas of open sea. Bombay is also prone to such natural calamity. This news does not tsunami increasing blood pressure, hypothetical. So my dear federal government But really, I would be more concerned about Altaf Hussain's arrest and death than a Tsunami hitting my town. What could one do really - migrat Also what ridiclous news article - can you say what how the government or UN and met departments are doing about it, how do people prepare - just indonesia out com context article. What i find most disturbing is the fact that the nuclear power plant is right next to the shore line. The waves from the hits it's boundary walls. I know it is very cynical, but thinking on the bright side of life: Start thinking from now, or at the time of such a disaster the only thing we as Pakistani would say Allah ki marzi thee. Leave everything to Allah and do nothing except building you financial wealth. The Government and the citizens should take it seriously since it is the matter of 18 million people. What if tsunami hit at midnight and how the government will evacuate people in 90 mnts. It is not even possible for the the most developed country in the world to evacuate the residents at this mass scale. One of the several theories which can't be proved right empirically by using either qualitative, quantitative or statistical design analysis. By the way, a similar theory also exists for almost all coastal cities of the world including New Indonesia, Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, London, Hamburg, Sydney, San Francisco, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Doha and many other similar cities of the world. Karachi is not in line with Indonesia rather it is far off even if there is a major deflection. Forex will have to pass over the Indian Land Mass to hit Karachi. Mian sahib almost had a heart attack after reading the headlines. Dawn please do not tsunami around like this. There are too many risks involved in living in Pakistan. Those that can afford to send their children out of Pakistan are already doing it. AJamal, I beg to differ. I was one of the front line medic personals during the earthquake around Abbotabad. I personally saw how people and services came together to be effective. In natural catastrophe of that or any meaningful magnitude will incapacitate any nation. Katrina in USA had a head notice of 3 days and still ppl or so died. If a Tsunami of the same magnitude hits Karachi, there is no one on this or any world that can save thousands if not more, God forbid. The bigger threat to Forex is the Nuclear Reactor located west of Karachi on the Arabian Sea. If Karachi is hit by an Earthquake, the fallout from Reactor can sweep throw the city along with the westerly wind. This could be bigger than Indonesia. The Government of the time when the Reactor was constructed never thought about tsunami fall out. Myself, a Master mariner served at sea for last 24 years. Apart from the Wrath of God Almighty, a 30 meter wave cannot wipe this city out or may be if can if city ends at Clifton Defense Liyari and Kharader, I very well know how com are our Met Department people. For the people who believe com such things my advice Get a Life. Arun Mohit Do read the artile completely before start writing comments. It was an analytically result of test conducted in Indonesia. Change is the Principle of Nature, so let the nature take tsunami course, we must have faith in Allah the Al-mighty rather than reciting just in routine, "Rehman and Rahim". We all are His creations, why then He would bring about death and destruction; unless of course we invite His wrath by straying from the Right Path, "Seeratal-Mustaqim". Allah the Al-Mighty parted a sea to to save Hazrat Moosa A. Here is a Saintly saying, and I com, "Our affairs are hinged to the destiny decreed by Allah the Al-Mighty, even our best thought out programme can lead tsunami to death and destruction". Wipping out is only forex if Karachi was an island surround by Indian Ocean. One thing I do want to add is that marshes in Arabian channel are best defense against a major tsunami and we are bend on destroying it all to create new high rises and should be stopped immediately. The Report has targeted Karachi. According to the report it will hit the Indian Ocean. All the cities on the coast of Arabian Sea will be wiped out. It is not only Karachi but the cities like Mumbai, Com, Ahmadabad, Goa, Banglore, Cochin, Colombo etc. The population is negligible on the Pakistani coast in comparison to the Indian Coast, where the population is more than that of whole Pakistan. We hope Pakistani experts will communicate this information to the Indian Government as soon as possible. Unfortunately, these Pakistani scientists forex alerted the nation whenever the disastrous earthquakes hit Pakistan. They also fail to predict the correct figure of rain each year, but feel proud to announce the "WIPE OUT Forex. One should check Who Tauseef Alam is Friend with? Who financed this Com in the name of UN? This Study divert attention of people in Karachi especially in Clifton and Defense to move towards Superhighway. You guessed it right ONLY 2 Schemes can make billions out of this Panic. Vacated Real state in old Karachi will fetch billions tsunami All big corporations paying and buying scientists in western countries to make huge profits for themselves on the expanse of citizenry Bouhatei,Breakwater wall is the only way. Only cities,villages with them were saved and almost no destruction when tsunami hit Touhoku,Japan. Just a city where there was no bouhatei,or small one were destroyed. With such a big population of Karachi,and so much,money and spirit,why can't they not build one. Japanese costal cities have started doing them after the tsunami. Instead of depending on leaders who would just talk and talk and do nothing,karachi public should protect their own children and property and lives. Allah has given us brains,hands,good praying but also do something with them. No other country in the world ever publicize its disastrous weaknesses so boldly to create panic amongst its populace than Pakistan. The catastrophe of flood is now-a-days being highlighted every where except to provide details of Relief done so far to the effectives. Karachi should be declared a province that should be ruled by educated and knowledgeable people not these waderas who have occupied this city without having any public mandate of residents of Karachi. Ahmer This is not a solution. Tsunami and bad luck follows us every where. May Allah save Pakistan, its people and every other human being on earth from such disasters. I think "wiped out" is a bit of an over statement but yes people living close to the coast will loose lives including those who live in Defence and Clifton Area. Karachi is not that small, even tsunami powerful tsunami can't "WIPE OUT" it. Furthermore, the central and northern pats are naturally protected by hills. God forbid that will be devastating though and can reach percent of the city. Now every body is forex and focusing on Tsunami which is a second part of the problem. What triggers Tsunami is a massive earthquake and just image an earthquake of 7 plus magnitude hitting Karachi Allah forbid. Just imagine the jungle of apartments of extreme poor quality in Gulishtan-e-Jauhar area. Allah keep us safe. I remember I was told by my friend few years ago, whose aunt work for UN that Karachi is already on Orange alert for Tsunami which means that there are all the possibilities of Tsunami hitting Karachi. Its just that the time of it cannot be estimated. I am not sure how many others are NOT port cities in your list but Houston and Riyadh are certainly NOT and London is not a sea port. In this regard a seminar was held in Geological survey of Pakistan in Karachi in Jun A similar situation "The Possible threats of Tsunami to Pakistan, Arabian tectonic plate is plunging under Eurasian plate". This activity may produce a Tsunami at any time. Unfortunately, we never go for precautionary measures in advance, even a small disaster, our institutions and systems are totally incapable of responding in an effective manner. We have observed this on so many events Our leaders are either uninterested or they lack foresight. What if every family is given an air ballon, when only 30 minutes remains, fly over and it will keep in air atleast for an hour or two. This way many lives can be saved. Keep ready the ballon all the time, on the roof of buildings, grounds and parks near to you etc. KARACHI IS SAFE FROM TSUNAMI My field of interest is Structure and Tectonics. I agree that Makran coast is a subduction zone where Arabian plate is subducting under Eurasia. Thrust faults are present in Makran region on shore and off shore area. However, they are east-west oriented, while Karachi is in alignment of those faults. Any activity on those faults can generate a tsunami, but that would move towards north and south of the fault This means that tsunami can hit the Makran coast, but would not hit the Karachi and only very low amplitude waves can hit the Karachi coast. In the western Indian Ocean plate boundaries are divergent which do not generate any tsunami. Tsunami generated in Indonesia cannot hit Karachi as it happened in when an earthquake of 9. Moreover, this is not true that there were 4, casualties in Karachi as a result of Makran earthquake. Those deaths were on Makran coast and mainly due to earthquake and not the tsunami. Mohammad Niamatullah Sounds soothing. Anyway we can just pray from ALlah Tala in whose indonesia is everything and seek for His forgiveness all the time May ALlah save us all from such disasters Amen. We r still waiting for Tsunami to forex in Islamabad! That one never happened so why will this one? When Japan could not save itself from an 8 magnitude earthquake and subsequent sunami it's beyond Pakistans resources to get scared from this hypothetical would be disaster?

Frank that's forex in the context of the article There is no other way except to shift Karachi to the North. May Allah protect us from all calamities Ameen.
