From BBC news 19 July 2006:
"The death toll in the Indonesian tsunami has risen to at least 520, fuelling questions over why no warning was given ahead of the disaster.
Government officials said they received a warning that the island of Java was threatened by a tsunami following an underwater earthquake off the coast.
But they said they were unable to pass on the warning to coastal areas.
A fresh earthquake hit the island on Wednesday, but no injuries or major damage have been reported so far.
The epicentre of the latest quake was under the sea off Java's southwestern coast, and buildings shook in surrounding areas as far away as the capital Jakarta.
But officials at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said no new tsunami was expected.
Indonesia is still working to build an early warning system following the massive 2004 Asian tsunami."
