An "anticipated warning system" has no specific meaning. We'll find
out...

This part of the Link should give a 'hint'
"tsunami-test-announcement"

So WWV in the USA in Fort Collins, CO -USA-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWV_%28radio_station%29

Is getting into the business of issuing of
Issuing Tsunami Alert Warnings "D'Oh!" from
the Center of the Continental USA for the
South Pacific Area ???which part of this
picture does not seem right???

Why not pay-for/sponsor a Time Standard and
Frequency Radio Station in the middle of
Australia that can also do the Tsunami Alert
Warnings for the South Pacific ? ? ? They are
'there' in the Area; and most/many local Radio
Listeners in the South Pacific Area can receive
them much better than WWV coming from the USA.

Better yet why not let Singapore, Indonesia
Malaysia and all the 'other' Countries in the
South Pacific Area form a Consortium and have
their own Time Standard and Frequency Radio
Station with a Tsunami Alert Warnings System.

What Two Frequencies to use :
Use 5,555 kHz and 11,111 kHz
-or- 4,321 kHz and 12,345 kHz
-easy-to-remember-mnemonics-

Broadcast Mode just like WWV : DSB-w-RC
