I saw on CNN, they asked someone from a geological forecast centre in Hawaii this same question
There is one dedicated forecast and warning station in Hawaii for the Pacific Ocean.
Why isn there is one in the Indian Ocean?
The expert explained earthquake and tsunamis such are so infrequent in the Indian Ocean like they did in the Pacific Ocean. We always associate tsunamis with Hawaii and Japan, its unthinkable of having one in the Indian Ocean. Another reason is the lack of resources. Basically all the countries around the Indian Ocean are third world countries..
But look at it from another perspective. A lot of things can happen. We can try as much as possible to guard against natural disasters, and other incidents. But anything can happen. I guess the other solution is to have contingency plans for any disasters, ie, having resources on standby to deal with any disaster, than standing around arguing whose fault is it not installing the early warning system, not doing this, not doing that...
