How does communication help us survive a tsunami?

The first communication that can happen regarding in surviving a tsunami would be to warn the public allowing them enough time to allow them to escape to higher ground.Prior to that, there should be ongoing communication educating about preparing emergency plans in the event there is a tsunami. The time to figure out what evacuation route to take, supplies to grab, where the family will meet after an event, etc. is not during the emergency.If communication systems are still in place after a tsunami hits, they might help a rescue team find you.
