How to survive a tsunami - Guide for children and youth
Tsunami Safety
If you feel an earthquake and you are near the sea or ocean you may need to do the following
DURING
1. Listen to a radio or television to get the latest emergency information, and be ready to evacuate if asked to do so. If you hear an official tsunami warning or detect signs of a tsunami, evacuate at once. Climb to higher ground. A Tsunami is issued when authorities are certain that a tsunami threat exists.
2. Stay away from the beach. NEVER go down to the beach to watch a tsunami come in. If you can see the wave you are too close to escape it!
3. Return home only after authorities advise it is safe to do so. A tsunami is a series of waves. Do not assume that one wave means that the danger over. The next wave may be larger than the first one.
Stay out aft the area!
AFTER
Stay tuned to a battery operated radio for the latest emergency information. Help injured or trapped persons. Give first aid if you can. Do not move seriously injured persons unless they are in immediate danger of further injury.
