Since the catastrophic 2004 Sumatran earthquake and tsunami, tsunami early warning systems have been established in every major ocean. These systems rely on Deep-ocean sensors for Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis (DART buoys) as well as seismic stations and tidal gauges for detection. Yet these systems have largely missed the early detection of near-field tsunamis. To evaluate the potential impact of near-field tsunamis generated by earthquakes offshore of Padang, Indonesia, we present a design that couples an underwater sensor network with a land-based communications network to support risk assessment and response operations among emergency response organizations, including warning dissemination to the public
