Why didn't the sea gypsies share this knowledge? They could have saved a lot of lives.

The sea gypsies, local governments, the UN...none of them cared enough to put up beach signs with a picture of receding water preceding a big wave.
...But at least the sea gypsies warned those around them when they saw it, unlike those local governments and the UN.

If I recall correctly the Sea Gypsies are a very small muslim ethnicity. They are pretty much subsistence fisherman, some even live on their junks. I saw some while in Thailand and they don't look like the type to carry inmarsat phones and they definitely don't I-M their buddies when they find a good school of fish. I don't think they have much contact with other peoples and they don't seem to dig tourists, either.

Why didn't the sea gypsies share this knowledge?Should they have used their cell-phones (or maybe their Blackberries) to page the other natives?

All throughout history wise, righteous people able to help and guide others have been ridiculed, marginalized, ignored or silenced.
A government of the wise to oversee the affairs of humankind would indeed be a good idea. The wisest souls on the planet with assistance and support could indeed do a better job than many of the so-called "leaders" of today.

To them it was common knowledge. They would expect everyone to be aware of it.
