It was most destructive when breaking in shallow water nearshore.Secondly, the best alleviation measures are 1) to set up a reliable system for providing warning at the time of an earthquake in order to save lives and reduce damage and 2) to establish a hazard map and implement land-use ...
Tsunami is a Japanese word meaning “harbor wave,” but few people around the Indian Ocean knew the word before the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. It has been used internationally since the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. An effective tool to guide coastal residents for evacuation is a hazard map ...
