Rules of behavior in case of emergency situations

Tsunami

Tsunami is a series of waves in a water body, usually caused by a submarine earthquake, an underwater or coastal landslide, or a volcanic eruption. Since a tsunami is a dangerous natural phenomenon, it is important to know the safety rules related to it.

Signs of a tsunami:

An earthquake is a natural warning signal about the danger of a tsunami. Before a tsunami, as a rule, water retreats hundreds of meters, sometimes kilometers, from the coast. This retreat can last from a few minutes to half an hour. The unusual behavior of animals and their movement towards high places are also signs of a tsunami.

Rules of behavior in case of a tsunami:

- explain the tsunami warning signal to your family members;

- learn in advance the location of the nearby non-flooding heights and the shortest routes to them (at least 2-3 km from the coast, 30-40 m above sea level);

- follow news on the tsunami forecast;

- keep in mind that you have a few minutes to half an hour for safety measures;

- if you are in a closed space, turn off gas and electricity, leave the place immediately, and go to the safe place you have determined;

- if you cannot reach a safe place, go to the upper floor of a tall building;

- if you have to stay indoors, go to the upper floor of the building;

- try to stay away from things that can fall on you;

- if you are in an open area and there is no tall building nearby, hide in an an impact-resistant place;

- if you are in the water, get rid of tight and heavy clothing, try to hold on to any item that does not sink in the water;

- protect yourself from dangerous items that the wave may bring;

- provide first aid to the injured if necessary.

What to do after a tsunami:

- wait for the alarm signal to end;

- you can return home only with the permission of the relevant institutions;

- when you return home, do not turn on gas and electricity supply systems without making sure that they are in order;

- to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, quickly collect the garbage brought by tsunami water and clean the yard and the house;

- use the source of drinking water after a proper sanitary inspection.
