As rescue efforts turn to recovery in the wake of the tsunami that killed at least 222 and injured over 800 in Indonesia, questions mount as to the efficacy of the early warning system.

An underwater landslide caused by volcanic activity triggered the tsunami, which slammed into the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra on Dec. 22, leaving havoc and devastation in its path.
