| Be Prepared |
| The best way to ensure your safety in a tsunami is to be prepared: -Know if your area is at risk should a tsunami strike. -Listen to radio and television reports after any earthquake for tsunami warnings. -Know where the highest point in your area is and how to get there. -Have emergency supplies ready in case evacuation is necessary. -Tsunamis usually come in sets, so do not return home or to costal areas until disaster officials have deemed it safe to do so. |
