We cannot avoid a tsunami,
but we can prevent a disaster.
To be Tsunami Ready
Review the inundation or evacuation tsunami maps for your
municipality; know your evacuation routes and assembly areas.
Make sure you have a way to receive emergency notification 24
hours a day.
Have an emergency plan for your home, community and
workplace.
Have a safety backpack with emergency supplies.
After a very strong earthquake or if a tsunami warning is issued,
get out of low-lying coastal areas immediately, preferably on foot
as there may be traffic and blocked roads.
Once an area is evacuated, do not enter until an official notice has
been issued that it is safe to return. The tsunami may arrive in a
few minutes, but its waves may continue to affect the coast for
many hours.
