Significance of National Tsunami Awareness Week

Although some are familiar with Hawaii and California tsunamis, knowledge of how to tackle this disaster and its long-standing impacts is still not widely known. National Tsunami Awareness Week is an annual week-long observance where various people and organizations work tirelessly to change just that. Every year, there are various talks, educational seminars, and brochures focused on raising awareness of tsunamis- their causes, impacts and how to be safest if this natural disaster hits.

From simple basics like the fact that tsunami is caused by a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake, to the more intricate impacts of Tsunami that most people do not consider, National Tsunami Awareness Week aims to cover all aspects of this natural disaster and prepare more people to tackle it better.
