Tips:
PLAN
FOR A TSUNAMI:
*
Have a disaster plan.
* Know whether you’re at risk for danger.
* Plan an evacuation route.
* Prepare a disaster supplies kit for your home and car.
Include a first aid kit, canned food
and a can opener, bottled water, battery-operated
radio, flashlight, protective clothing and written instructions
on how to turn off electricity, gas, and water.
DURING A TSUNAMI:
*
Follow the instructions issued by local authorities.
* You will probably want to evacuate immediately.
* Get to higher ground and as far inland as you can.
AFTER A TSUNAMI:
*
Help injured or trapped people.
* Stay out of a building if water remains around it. Tsunami
waters can cause buildings to
sink, floors to crack, or walls to collapse.
* When re-entering homes, use extreme caution.
* Check for gas leaks.
* Open windows and doors to help dry things out.
* Look for fire hazards.
