Tsunamis

A tsunami can kill or injure people and damage or destroy buildings and infrastructure as waves come in and go out. A tsunami is a series of enormous ocean waves caused by earthquakes, underwater landslides, volcanic eruptions, or asteroids. Tsunamis can:

Travel 20-30 miles per hour with waves 10-100 feet high.

Cause flooding and disrupt transportation, power, communications, and the water supply.

Happen anywhere along U.S. coasts. Coasts that border the Pacific Ocean or Caribbean have the greatest risk.

IF YOU ARE UNDER A TSUNAMI WARNING:

First, protect yourself from an Earthquake. Drop, Cover, then Hold On.

Get to high ground as far inland as possible.

Be alert to signs of a tsunami, such as a sudden rise or draining of ocean waters.

Listen to emergency information and alerts.

Evacuate: DO NOT wait! Leave as soon as you see any natural signs of a tsunami or receive an official tsunami warning.

If you are in a boat, go out to sea.

Explanation:

Tsunamis are large ocean waves generated by major earthquakes beneath the ocean floor or major landslides into the ocean. Rising to several feet or higher, they can strike the coast with devastating force. People on beaches or in low coastal areas, such as estuaries and rivers, need to be aware that a tsunami could arrive within minutes of a severe earthquake – and the danger period can continue for many hours. Tsunamis can occur any time of year, day or night.

Top Tips.

To escape a tsunami, go as high and as far as you can – ideally to a spot 100 feet above sea level or 2 miles away.

Every foot inland or upward may make a difference!

If you can see the wave, you are too close for safety.

Know the difference!

A Tsunami WARNING means a tsunami may have been generated and could be close to your area.

A Tsunami WATCH means a tsunami has not yet been verified but could exist and may be as little as an hour away.
