PHUKET, Thailand (AP) - Thailand conducted Southeast Asia's largest tsunami evacuation drill Wednesday along the Andaman coast, which was devastated by earthquake-generated giant waves in 2004 that killed more than 8,000 in the country.
In hotels and villages in six provinces, people made their way to the highest and safest places, said Smith Dharmasaroja, chairman of the National Disaster Warning Administration that organized the drill.
All 79 alarm towers functioned well, but more of them are needed, he said.
