No. At the the time there was no tsunami warning center in the Indian Ocean. They received no warning. The first indication anyone in Indonesia got was the ocean receding before the tsunami struck, but most people did not know that this was a sign of a tsunami.
There are several tsunami warning systems in the world, managed by organizations such as the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). These systems provide alerts and forecasts to coastal communities in the event of a tsunami threat.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center canceled an alert for Hawaii on Saturday, after waves caused erratic surges in the sea but did not appear to cause significant property damage. Gerard Fryer, a geophysicist at the center, told The Associated Press that the state had "dodged a bullet" after a major earthquake in Chile a half-day earlier had caused tsunami warnings to be issued for most of the Pacific basin.
The Indian Tsunami Early Warning Centre (ITEWC) is located in Hyderabad, India. It is operated by the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) and serves as the primary agency responsible for detecting and issuing tsunami warnings for the Indian Ocean region.
