What else can I help you with?
Are there more than one warning for tsunamis like there is for a tornado?
Yes. There is a tsunami watch is issued if a tsunami may impact an area. A tsunami advisory is issued if a tsunami poses a threat to areas in or along the water. A tsunami warning is issued if a tsunami is expected to cause widespread flooding.
How do you recognise the warning signs and what to do when a tsunami is about to hit?
One pf the major warning signs... is the sudden 'disappearance' of the sea - as the water is 'absorbed' into the forthcoming wave. However - there's no real way to get advanced warning of an impending tsunami.
How can you help when there is a tsunami?
In case of tsunami approaching to the coast one can help himself by changing location to somewhere extremely higher and stable like iron constructions. Elevation by a helicopter would be perfect. But the help should actually start from the other end - how can you help to prevent one being in a location of tsunami. People must learn to be aware of such phenomenon, people must learn to detect and prevent by warning others.
What are 2 things that someone should do after a tsunami warning is issued?
one thing is to find the highest ground you can maybe even your roof or your moms toilet
How does a tsunami occur What are the steps taken by India to develop a tsunami warning system No one can be prepared for a tsuanmi if the magnitude is very high?
A tsunami is typically caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or underwater landslides that displace a large volume of water. In India, the Indian Tsunami Early Warning Center was established to monitor seismic activity and sea level changes to detect potential tsunamis. Once a tsunami threat is detected, the warning system disseminates alerts through various communication channels to coastal communities, allowing them to evacuate and seek higher ground. While it may be challenging to fully prepare for a very high magnitude tsunami, early warning systems can provide critical time for evacuation and reduce casualties.

How many nations make up the Pacific Tsunami Warning System?
There are 46 nations that contribute to the Pacific Tsunami Warning System, which is managed by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO.
What is the purpose of the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center and where it located?
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center is headquartered at Ewa Beach, Hawaii, USA. It has responsibility for most of the Pacific Ocean. It has responsibilities for receiving and analysing input from all tsunami monitoring stations and making the projections and ultimately issuing warnings. It is the operational headquarters for the Pacific Tsunami Warning System. It is one of two warning systems operated by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Is there a away of controlling the tsunami in Japan?
No. The best one can hope for is early warning and good evacuation methods.
Why wasn't there a tsunami warning system inthe Indian Ocean before 2004 tsunami?
Unfortunately that part of the world is considered to be third-world. They didn't have the technology or resources to have one.
Was there a Warning in the Asian Tsunmi?
Yes there was one in Hawaii. They warned that there was an earthquake at the Indian Ocean. Later they warned that there is a possibility of a tsunami.

Why was the 2004 tsunami one of the most devastating?
The 2004 tsunami was one of the most devastating due to its massive scale, affecting multiple countries across the Indian Ocean region. It was triggered by a powerful undersea earthquake, resulting in massive tsunamis that caused widespread destruction and loss of life. The lack of adequate warning systems and preparedness in many areas contributed to the high death toll.
Could the 2004 tsunami have been predicted?
Seismometers or earthquake sensors placed near fault zones. They do not make a judgment that a tsunami is coming, but indicate that it is possible. The tsunami's travel across deep water almost invisible, but generate astounding heights when coming ashore in shallow water. That is why some warnings are issued and no tsunami appears. It takes certain things to happen to generate a tsunami.
