After the devastating 2011 earthquake and tsunami, Japan set out to build a revolutionary warning system beneath the sea. Today, it's the first country in the world with a real-time, ocean-floor network that can detect earthquakes 20 seconds before impact and tsunamis up to 20 minutes in advance. With over 5,700 km of cables and hundreds of observatories on the seafloor, this undersea "nervous system" is giving Japan the power to act before disaster strikes. In this episode, we dive into how this system works and why it could change global disaster preparedness forever.
