1965, not 1949
If you google "1965 tsunami warning", you'll find a number of references to the modern Pacific warning system being put in place in 1965 after the Good Friday Earthquake. The fact that the PTWC was founded in 1949 is not related to this; I'm not sure what they did between 1949 and 1965. -- Curps 22:05, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
OK, I noticed your embedded comment about upgrades in 1965. Can you describe these? Technology in 1949 was much less advanced than in 1965, and wasn't the 1949 system local only to Hawaii? The 1965 system was supposed to be the first global system, as I understand it. -- Curps 22:10, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
