BALI, Indonesia Aug 2, 2006 (AP)— A tsunami warning system is now in place for Indian Ocean countries, but experts said Wednesday there is still room for improvement in methods to convey the alerts to coastal communities.

A tsunami that killed 600 people in Indonesia two weeks ago exposed some shortcomings in a system still being built after the Dec. 26, 2004 disaster that killed almost 217,000 people in a dozen Indian Ocean countries, experts at a U.N.-backed meeting said.
