Safety Tip and bottom Line Back To Top
Natural Disasters Preparedness:
Tsunamis
A tsunami is a series of waves
that may be dangerous and destructive. When you hear a tsunami warning, move at
once to higher ground and stay there until local authorities say it is safe to
return home.
BEFORE
1.
Find
out if your home is in a danger area.
Know the height of your street
above sea level and the distance of your street from the coast. Evacuation
orders may be based on these numbers.
2.
Be
familiar with the tsunami warning signs.
Because tsunamis can be caused
by an underwater disturbance or an earthquake, people living along the coast
should consider an earthquake or a sizable ground rumbling as a warning signal.
A noticeable rapid rise or fall in coastal waters is also a sign that a tsunami
is approaching.
3.
Make
sure all family members know how to respond to a tsunami.
4.
Make
evacuation plans.
Pick an inland location that is
elevated. After an earthquake or other natural disaster, roads in and out of
the vicinity may be blocked, so pick more than one evacuation route.
5.
Teach
family members how and when to turn off gas, electricity, and water.
6.
Teach
children how and when to call
7.
Have
disaster supplies on hand.
Flashlight
and extra batteries
Portable,
battery-operated radio and extra batteries
First
aid kit and manual
Emergency
food and water
Nonelectric
can opener
Essential
medicines
Cash
and credit cards
Sturdy
shoes
Develop
an emergency communication plan.
In case family members are
separated from one another during a tsunami (a real possibility during the day
when adults are at work and children are at school), have a plan for getting
back together.
8.
Ask an
out-of-state relative or friend to serve as the "family contact."
After a disaster, often it's easier to call long distance.
Make sure everyone knows the
name, address, and phone number of the contact person.
9.
Contact
your local emergency management office or American Red Cross chapter for more
information on tsunamis.
DURING
1.
Listen
to a radio or television to get the latest emergency information, and be ready
to evacuate if asked to do so.
2.
If you
hear an official tsunami warning or detect signs of a tsunami, evacuate at
once. Climb to higher ground. A tsunami warning is issued when authorities are
certain that a tsunami threat exists.
3.
Stay
away from the beach.
Never go down to the beach to
watch a tsunami come in. If you can see the wave you are too close to escape
it.
4.
Return
home only after authorities advise it is safe to do so.
A tsunami is a series of waves.
Do not assume that one wave means that the danger over. The next wave may be
larger than the first one. Stay out of the area.
AFTER
1.
Stay
tuned to a battery-operated radio for the latest emergency information.
2.
Help
injured or trapped persons.
Give first aid where
appropriate. Do not move seriously injured persons unless they are in immediate
danger of further injury. Call for help.
3.
Remember
to help your neighbors who may require special assistance--infants, elderly
people, and people with disabilities.
4.
Stay
out of damaged buildings. Return home only when authorities say it is safe.
5.
Enter
your home with caution.
Use a flashlight when entering
damaged buildings. Check for electrical shorts and live wires. Do not use
appliances or lights until an electrician has checked the electrical system.
6.
Open
windows and doors to help dry the building.
Shovel mud while it is still
moist to give walls and floors an opportunity to dry.
7.
Check
food supplies and test drinking water.
Fresh food that has come in
contact with flood waters may be contaminated and should be thrown out. Have
tap water tested by the local health department.
INSPECTING UTILITIES IN A DAMAGED HOME
·
Check
for gas leaks--If you smell gas or hear a blowing or hissing noise, open a
window and quickly leave the building. Turn off the gas at the outside main
valve if you can and call the gas company from a neighbor's home. If you turn
off the gas for any reason, it must be turned back on by a professional.
·
Look
for electrical system damage--If you see sparks or broken or frayed wires, or
if you smell hot insulation, turn off the electricity at the main fuse box or
circuit breaker. If you have to step in water to get to the fuse box or circuit
breaker, call an electrician first for advice.
·
Check
for sewage and water lines damage--If you suspect sewage lines are damaged,
avoid using toilets and call a plumber. If water pipes are damaged, contact the
water company and avoid the water from the tap. You can obtain safe water by
melting ice cubes.
