Tsunami Early Warning Systems

Tsunami Early Warning Systems detect signs of potential tsunamis, such as undersea earthquakes or seismic activity, using sensors and detectors. These systems analyze data to determine if a tsunami might be triggered and how large it could be. Once a threat is identified, alerts are issued to authorities and the public to evacuate or take safety measures. The goal is to provide enough warning time—often minutes to hours—so communities can prepare, reducing loss of life and property. These systems are essential for coastal regions prone to tsunamis and rely on a combination of technology, monitoring, and communication networks.
