Indonesia Earthquake: How to prepare for tsunamis and the race to reach survivors

Description

In Indonesia, the harrowing race to reach survivors is on. 72 hours after the earthquakes and tsunami struck Central Sulawesi, the death toll nears 844. Our panel looks at challenges facing rescuers and survivors. We ask what lessons were learned since the giant tsunami of 2004. Earthquakes cannot be blamed on global warming, this was not humanity's fault. But we ask about preparedness in a nation with a fast-growing population in exposed areas. What can be done to be better prepared?
