...I've heard that the U.S. is even planning to come up with warning systems for something like this.

Several countries are planning on converting weather buyoys (go ahead and criticize my spelling
) to a warning system that would monitor both sesimic activity and wave height. Had this been in place for this tsunami I doubt it would've saved many in Indonesia (where the tsunami traveled very quickly), but in areas such as India many lives probably could've been saved. I'm all for it.
And yes, we're lucky to be Westerners.
