  1. Tsunami By Adrianna Rizzo & Kylie Steele

  2. What’s a tsunami? Tsunamis are a very long low seismic sea wave.

  3. How do tsunamis occur? A tsunami occurs when a powerful force moves the sea floor and displaces water. Once it displaces water it then creates a wave. The wave then goes through the ocean and once it reaches shore the wave gets bigger and causes destruction.

  4. Risks of Flooding: • Diseases • Economy • Environment

  5. Diseases • Water of the tsunami could get infected with serious medical issues. • Such as: military fever, pneumonic plague, dysentery, common cold, broken bones, starvation (due to loss of food) etc.

  6. Economy • Government has to input many resources for aiding or reconstruction • (Police force, fire control, aid worker, resources used for resisting flood, food providers, construction workers.)

  7. Environment • Flooding leads to damages of roads, collapse of bridges or traffic congestion, which may affect the daily schedule. • Flooding brings excess water which will cause damage to farmland.

  8. Preparation • Get to higher ground • Evacuate if the seafloor disturbance was large • If you feel the earth shake, do not wait for tsunami warning • Save lives not belongings • Avoid roads • If you have a boat and you’re on the ocean, do not port • Head inland • Watch out for debris

  9. Where do Tsunamis Occur?

  10. Current Tsunami In Japan On March 11th a 8.9 earthquake struck Japan triggering an outrageous tsunami. The death toll has reached 10,000, with thousands still missing. The water has caused damage to the nuclear power plants and people are being exposed to severe radiation. There is major rescue effort for people stranded on roof tops and around the city. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-zfCBCq-8I http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=2uJN3Z1ryck#at=261 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APEsVeE7FGk
