How To Survive A Tsunami

October 2, 2009 by Personal Liberty News Desk 

How to survive a tsunami The devastating tsunami that hit Western Pacific Islands, including American Samoa earlier this week, killing at least 168 people, has brought the issue of preparedness and survival into focus once again.

A tsunami is a series of water waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of water such as an ocean. It typically follows an underwater earthquake and can have a devastating impact on lives and property along coastal regions.

Since the West Coast of the U.S. and Hawaii are in danger of a tsunami, residents should know the warning signs and procedures to follow to reduce the risk of losing their lives.

According to Preparedness.com, a rapid rise or fall in coastal waters is a possible sign of an approaching tsunami. When a warning is issued, residents should move immediately to higher ground and stay there until it is safe to return.

Experts also warn against going to the beach to watch a tsunami come in as the waves are faster than humans can run. "If you can see the wave you are too close to escape it," the website says.

Those living in areas prone to natural disasters should maintain an emergency kit which includes a supply of food and drinking water, basic medicines and a battery-operated radio.

    Fortunately my family and I do not live where we have to worry about a Tsunami….what we need to do is watch and worry as much of our lives are taken over by ‘illegals’…sometimes I wonder what country I am in while shopping. In my day, immigrants willingly learned the language of the country to which they immigrated and w/o having special school classes. I am not a bigot but as just sick and tired of those taking from others w/o having to work for it as my family and my ancestors did for many generations.

    Hire the state of Montanna to have a two legged cattle drive, driving south….you could actually flood Mexico with people.

    Except for those areas threated by Tsunamis that are US possessions or our allies, move them all to Afghanistan. It’s the humane thing to do.
