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.
Why was the 2004 tsunami one of the most devastating?
The December 26, 2004 Tsunami was particularly devastating because it occurred in the Indian Ocean where there is no tsunami warning system.
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.
