Surviving A Tsunami—Lessons from Chile, Hawaii, and Japan
Actions that saved lives, and actions that cost lives, as recounted by
eyewitnesses to the tsunami from the largest earthquake ever measured—the
magnitude 9.5 earthquake in Chile on May 22, 1960. In interviews several
decades later, people in Chile, Hawaii, and Japan recall the tsunami.
How to survive a tsunami
PREPARATION KEY TO NORTHWEST SURVIVING A TSUNAMI DISASTER For a
preview of a tremendous earthquake and tsunami in the Pacific Northwest,
take a look at Southeast Asia's recent disaster, an Oregon State University
natural hazards expert said. "Geologically-speaking, Sumatra is directly
analogous to the Oregon Coast," said Jim Good, an OSU professor of oceanic
and atmospheric sciences and director of OSU's Marine Resource Management
Program.
Surviving a Tsunami: Is Alaska Ready for the Next Big Wave?
Alaska has the greatest tsunami potential in the entire United States.
Historic tsunamis that were generated by earthquakes on the Alaska-Aleutian
subduction zone have resulted in widespread damage and loss of life along
the Alaskan Pacific coast and other exposed locations around the Pacific
Ocean.
Surviving a Tsunami Survivor's stories and video depict a
frightening series of waves or rising tides that rushed onshore, each
followed by the retreat of fast-moving currents carrying a great mixture of
debris-smashed homes, trees, cars, and wreckage-and people.
NOAA Disaster Preparedness and the Tsunami ... An excellent

Tsunami Most Californians are sensitive to their vulnerability to
earthquakes -- and even somewhat nonchalant about it. But few are concerned
with, or even aware of, the potential hazards of tsunamis. "The threat is
very real," emphasizes Eisner, coastal regional administrator at the
governor's Office of Emergency Services for northern California. "It has
occurred in the past. The difficulty we have is that tsunamis are so
infrequent that we can't estimate probability of loss."
Mega Tsunami - Massive Tidal Wave A volcano named Cumbre Vieja on
the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands of North Africa is where
geologists suspect the next tsunami could begin. The reason for the
concern... In 1949 during a volcanic eruption part of the island slid into
the ocean before ending its descent. Should another large eruption of the
Cumbre Vieja occur, the western side of the island is likely to collapse
into the Atlantic.
Tsunamis: Waves of Destruction Tsunamis are large ocean waves that move extremely fast sometimes at 500
miles per hour and can travel great distances. When they reach shore, the
ocean first retreats before it becomes a large wall of water enveloping
everything in sight.
