As confirmed by the National Disaster Warning Center NDWC (@ndwc_news /@NDWC_DISASTER) in Bangkok, the two tsunami-warning buoys deployed west of Phuket that Thailand is responsible for maintaining are both out of service.
One of the tsunami-warning buoys has been scavenged for its components, while the other is still relaying real-time data, has come loose from its mooring on the sea floor and is floating aimlessly some 200 km west of #Phuket,
Dr. Prasong Thammapala, Acting Director of the Information Technology and Communication Center at the NDWC, said.
The authorities urged people to not panic, as the โouterโ warning buoy, located some 600 nautical miles west of Phuket, is just one of an array of tsunami-warning buoys that are still functioning.
