As a tsunami-prone area, Bali needs more tsunami sirens covering beaches across the island, according to Jaya Seratabrana of the Bali Disaster Mitigation Agency’s (BPBD).

"We need 13 more tsunami sirens in several other places, especially in eastern and western Bali," Jaya said.

Jaya ensured the nine sirens were working properly, as a test run was conducted routinely at 10 a.m. local time on the 26th of every month. "The test run is carried out to ensure all sirens are in good condition. In the latest test this month, all sirens were working properly," he further said.
