About Tsunami

 A tsunami is a series of ocean waves with very long wavelengths (typically several kilometers) caused by large-scale disturbances of the ocean, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. A dangerous tsunami is one that has the potential to cause significant damage, destruction, and loss of life.

The severity of a tsunami depends on several factors, including the size and depth of the earthquake or other event that triggered it, the location of the event with respect to populated areas, and the topography of the seafloor and shoreline. In general, tsunamis that are generated by very large and shallow earthquakes close to the coast are the most dangerous.

If you live in an area that is at risk of a dangerous tsunami, it is important to be prepared. You should have an emergency plan in place that includes knowing the evacuation routes and the location of higher ground or designated evacuation areas. You should also have an emergency kit that includes food, water, first aid supplies, and other essentials.

If you are near the coast and feel a strong earthquake, or if you receive a tsunami warning, you should immediately move to higher ground or inland as quickly as possible. Do not wait for an official evacuation order, as a tsunami can arrive very quickly and with little warning.

It is important to take tsunamis seriously and to follow the instructions of local authorities to stay safe.
