Understanding Tsunamis

What is a Tsunami?

A tsunami is a series of powerful ocean waves caused by large-scale disturbances, most commonly underwater earthquakes. Unlike wind-driven waves that only affect the surface, a tsunami moves the entire water column, giving it immense force and destructive potential.

Incredible Speed

In the deep ocean, a tsunami can travel at speeds over 800 kph (500 mph), as fast as a jet plane.

Wave Height Transformation

As the wave enters shallower water near the coast, it slows down and its height grows dramatically in a process called shoaling.

Safety & Preparedness

The 3 Essential Steps to Tsunami Safety

1. Know The Warnings

Recognize nature's signs: a strong earthquake lasting 20+ seconds, a loud ocean roar, or a sudden, unusual sea level change. These are your most immediate alerts.

2. Plan Your Evacuation

Know your community's evacuation routes. Identify high ground (at least 30m / 100ft above sea level) and the safest paths to get there. Practice your route.

3. Build a Go-Bag

Prepare a portable emergency kit with water, non-perishable food, a first-aid kit, medications, a flashlight, radio, and essential documents for each family member.

The Kamchatka event is a dual-edged lesson. It validates the immense value of modern, cooperative, technology-driven warning systems in saving lives, while simultaneously serving as a stark reminder of the persistent threat posed by local-source tsunamis.
