Hope if arrangements could be made by the disaster managment center to obtain information and give alerts like the Tsunami to avoid casualities

in Sri Lanka we don't have the technology to warn events such as tornadoes since they occur very suddenly for very short time in a localized area. But people should be aware of how dangerous a tornado can be.
