Disaster-hit Indonesia could be at risk of more tsunamis and the lack of an early warning system leaves the already vulnerable country at the mercy of further danger.
The death toll has reached 222 with 843 injured and as emergency services scramble to help while people search for their families in the rubble, they are still in danger as Anak Krakatau continues to erupt.
Speaking at a news conference on the island of Java, National Disaster Management Agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho warned that the risk of more tsunamis wasn't over.

He said: 'Recommendations from Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysical Agency (BMKG) are that people should not carry out activities on the beach and stay away from the coast for a while.
'The potential for a fresh tsunami is still possible because the volcanic eruption of Anak Krakatau continues to occur, potentially triggering tsunami.'
The revelation is made all the more shocking considering the country's devastation after the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake occurred, killing 227,898.

Today's tsunami was triggered by volcanic activity but the government warned that the country did not have any early warning system for tsunamis not caused by earthquakes.
A government spokesman said the tsunami was likely to have been caused by an underwater landslide caused by volcanic activity of Mount Anak Krakatau, combined with an unusually high tidal wave because of the full moon.
National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said: 'According to preliminary data, there are no foreign casualties, only Indonesians.'

Fault sirens on the existing panic system caused residents of Labuhan Bay of Pandeglang regency, Banten, to flee to higher ground.
It is not known exactly why the sirens did sound but the BMKG [Meterology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency] say they did not issue the warning.
'It is likely that a technical problem caused the sirens to sound on their own', a spokesman said.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
