Burma : We issued warning
The World Meteorological Organisation said yesterday that Burma had issued warnings ahead of the devastating cyclone, but could not confirm whether they reached the population.
The WMO also said it is unclear if Burma has contingency plans to deal with natural disasters and that it will send a team to help the country develop such emergency procedures.
The WMO said its permanent representative in Burma - who is also a government official in charge of Burma's meteorological department - told its headquarters that warnings had been issued.
