Classroom - Tsunamis - Preparing for the arrival of a tsunami

1) Find out if your home is in a danger area.

2) Make evacuation plans.

3) Have disaster supplies on hand.

Flashlight
Portable, battery-operated radio
First aid kit
Emergency food and water
Essential medicines
Develop an emergency communication plan.

4) In case family members are separated from one another during a tsunami have a plan for getting back together. Ask a relative or friend to be the "family contact" in case of emergency. After a disaster, often it's easier to call long distance. Make sure everyone knows about the contact person.
