Tsunami Safety
/(t)so͞ oˈnämē/: a long, high sea
wave caused by an earthquake or other
disturbance

- Severe ground shaking from local

earthquakes are natural tsunami
warnings
- There will be a noticeable fall or rise
in the water level; water may recede
from the coast, exposing the ocean
floor
- Abnormal ocean activity: an
approaching tsunami can create a
loud "roaring" sound similar to that
of a train or jet aircraft.
- If you feel a strong quake do not stay
in a place where you are exposed to a
tsunami
- Listen to the radio or television for
additional information
- Immediately leave low-lying coastal
areas and move to higher ground
- Keep a store of emergency supplies
