What precautionary measures before during and after tsunami?

Answer 1

Signs that s Tsunami is Approaching

There are some signs that could warn you if a tsunami is going to happen. Take note of the following: 1. If an earthquake occurs near a body of water.

2. If water along a shoreline recedes dramatically.

3. Some kinds of animals hear the noise of tsunami and move towards the opposite direction towards inland.

4. When you hear a loud roar similar to that of a train or an airplane.

The tsunami warning system consists of sensors that can detect tsunamis andcommunications system that could alarm to allow evacuation of coastal areas. Since tsunamismove at 0.14 to 0.28 km/s and earthquake waves at 4 km/s, it is assumed that, when an earthquake is confirmed, there is enough time to predict a tsunami.To reduce the effect of a tsunami, a tsunami wall of 4.5 meters in height can be constructed in populated coastal areas. Floodgates and channels can be built to redirect the water from the tsunami, and the shore can be covered with trees. All these slow down and moderate a tsunami. However, they cannot totally prevent the destruction and loss of life. Before a tsunami Watch out for warning signs. Remember to run uphill when you are near the shore and you felt an earthquake, when you observe animals heading uphill or away from the shore, or when you observe the water at the beaches recede into the sea. During a Tsunami If you run uphill on the first warning signs, you will probably have enough time to reach safe high ground. If not, the only thing you can try is to climb up a tree, although there is no assurance that the water will not reach you. The best thing is to run at the first warning signs or when an evacuation announcement has been made. After a Tsunami to wait for some time to make sure there are no other waves coming after the first wave before you clear up the debris. A tsunami is a series of waves. The first wave may not be the most dangerous. The waves may come five minutes apart to an hour apart. The cycle may be marked by repeated retreating and advancing of the ocean or sea. Do not go to the shore once the first wave has gone. Expect more to come.

Before a tsunami. Watch out for warning signs. Remember to run uphill when you are near the shore and you fell an earthquake, when you observe animals heading uphill or away from the shore, or when you observe the water at the beach recede into the sea.

If not, the only thing you can try is to climb up a tree, although there is no assurance that the water will not reach you.

After a Tsunami. You will have to wait for some time to make sure there are no other waves coming after the first wave before you clear up the debris. A tsunami is a series of waves.

If you can see it coming don't try to get to your car and drive away, firstly the speed of the wave will probably over take you and secondly the road will probably be crowded with people running away, making escape virtually impossible.

Remember even 50 cm of fast flowing water is enough to move a car or sweep a person off their feet.

If there is a warning well in advance then use your car or legs as a means to escape to high ground.

If you are caught in an open area, or area without any hills to climb:

Look for the first available rigid structure and climb this; climb as high as you can, don't wait for the water to get up to your waist before trying to climb higher, by this point is would be too late.

Don't select anything flimsy to climb, this would probably be demolished by the force of the water, first choice would be a building with reinforced concrete structure (like an apartment building), although if that is not possible then anything is better than nothing.

Palm trees are a good choice as long as you can get up high enough (due to the normally smooth stem), they are narrow, and offer less resistance to the water than a solid object, they are flexible so don't break easily and they have fairly good roots to anchor themselves. Normally the issue is being able to stay up in the top of the tree clinging onto the stem for a long period of time.

Telephone or electrical poles may seem like a good idea, but if the power is still on and the lines are live, you stand a good chance of being electrocuted. Use these only if there is no other alternative.

If you are exposed clinging to a structure try to stay on the leeward side, this means its harder to hold onto as you have the water pushing against you, but you have less chance of being hit by debris carried in the water. If possible, find something to tie yourself on so that you are not swept away and that you excerpt less energy trying to hold yourself on (belt, rope etc.)

Answer 4

• Stay away from flooded and damaged areas until officials say it is safe to go back.
• Stay away from debris in the water - it could cause health and safety risks.
• Save yourself first, not your possessions.
• Help injured or trapped people - give first aid where appropriate.
• Do not move seriously injured persons unless they are in immediate danger or further injury.
• Help a neighbor who may require special assistance, like elderly people or small children or people with disabilities.
• Stay out of the building if water remains around it - tsunami waters, like flood waters, can cause buildings to sink and collapse.
• Check food supplies - any food that has come in contact with flood waters should be thrown out because it may be contaminated.

Answer 5

Some things to do if a tsunami is about to occur:

• Listen to a local radio station for announcements or instructions
• Evacuate if ordered to do so
• Leave telephone lines open in case of any emergencies
• Stay away from the beach/coastline
• Listen out for the "all clear" announcement before returning to the coastline

Some precautions to take if you live in a zone where tsunami's are likely to take place:

• Be aware of tsunami warniing signs. These are things like earthquakes or landslides.
• Know your elevation above sea level as any evacuation instructions may be based on these numbers.
• Have a meeting point
• Have an evacuation or disaster kit. This should include batteries, a radio and a first aid kit.
