**What is a Tsunami?**

**A tsunami is a huge wave that is caused when there has been a large earthquake out to sea. A tsunami is deadly.** **Many thousands of people died in the boxing day tsunami that occurred in Thailand.**

**How do you know when a tsunami will hit?**

**Usually you can feel the earthquake or you will get a civil defence warning, pay attention to your pets or other animals.** **(Animals can sense danger coming). The most recognisable way to tell when a tsunami will strike is that the tide will seem to disappear.**

**What do you do when a tsunami strikes?**


 * 1.Grab your GHS Survival Kit. **
 * 2.Get to higher ground and stay away from the beach or low areas. **
 * 3. Listen to the radio for civil defence information. **
 * 4. Stay where you are until you are given the all clear. **

**NOTE: A tsunami is not a single wave, but a series of waves. A larger more** **dangerous wave may be preceded by a smaller initial wave. Stay out of danger** **and away from the shoreline until competent authority issues an “all clear”.**
