What are the probabilities of damage and suggest the action plan of the rescue team during tsunami?
The probabilities of damage are: fallen buildings, some severe injuries to yourself and others, cars will wash away or hit something to damage it. You should go into a tall, sturdy building, don't stand by windows or try and 'ride' the wave. Run as fast as you can in front of it and run straight to a building. Don't stop, you are putting yourself and others in danger. Go some place where there is food, water, and warmth. Wait at least a week or more to leave the sheltered area you are in. There could be another wave, a storm following, or water is still high and cold. Proffesional, trained people will try and come save everyone but that will take a while, they would probably bring a large boat or plane. Everyone stay safe in Natural Disasters.
