Disaster 5: Tsunami

Hey how are you readers today, let me know what you think of my post. Today I will explain how you can survive a deadly Tsunami. Tsunami's are very deadly and can kill hundreds of people in one wave. Hopefully you will never have to face one, but if you ever do it is a good thing you read t he "How to survive" blog.

What is a tsunami?

A tsunami  is a lot of tidal waves that come one after another usually due to an underwater disturbance or usually resulting after an earthquake. Most of the damage a tsunami causes usually happens on the coast line.

How should I prepare?

You need to prepare in advance. In order to prepare you need to know if your area is a risk of getting a tsunami first. Once you know that you need to follow some guidelines.

1. Make a survival plan. A survival plan should be prepared before hand to be of proper use. When  making one you should consider many things such as your family, your home, your money etc.
2. Make a safety kit. In this kit you should have essential items for living like food, water, first aid kit etc. Be sure its kept in a common and easy place to get so it can be gotten at any time.

• Listen and pay attention to warnings. Either it be a natural or government warning. If a siren goes off alerting a tsunami make sure to run for your life, because that will be your only warning. Sometimes there is no warning, so that's when you look for natural warnings. Natural warnings are usually pigeons flying away by the million(Slight exaggeration) and earthquakes if by your a coastline. Earthquakes can start tsunamis easily.
• Give other people the information of an upcoming tsunami once you have heard the warning. Others may not have been fortunate enough to hear the warning and by you telling them you are potentially saving their lives.
• Leave all belongings once a tsunami strikes. You will only gain more time to stay alive and once the tsunami has ended you can just pillage the stores for anything you want.
• Head to high ground so that the tsunami wont hit or impact you less. If you do not have enough time to head to high ground climb a tree as a last resort.(Only do this as a last resort.)

Hopefully you will survive after you have read my post. Leave me comments regarding if this was helpful.
