The Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology has a cancelled Tsunami Warning on its warnings page today (16th January, 2009). Whilst the coastline of Australia is no stranger to Tsunamis, the current population living on the coast may be all but totally ignorant as to the type of response needed when faced with a tsunami warning.
NOAA Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre has some current info on Tsunamis.
USGS Earthquake Hazards Program has an Earthquakes Centre with updates on recent earthquakes, maps, data and much more. This link will take you to a WORLD MAP showing Recent Earthquake Animations.
International Tsunami Information Centre (ITIC) .

I was looking for some internet articles that I had earlier read, concerning myths and stories from aboriginal populations of NSW re Tsunamis, but so far, haven’t found them. Hopefully, they shall turn up, so that I can add them to this article.
