Tsunami evacuation plans
Tsunami evacuation plans involve early warning systems, clear evacuation routes, and designated safe areas located on higher ground or inland. When a tsunami threat is detected, authorities alert residents through alarms and messages. People near the coast are advised to evacuate immediately, moving quickly along designated paths away from the shoreline. Safe zones are pre-identified locations where people can gather safely until the danger passes. These plans aim to ensure rapid, organized movement to minimize risk and protect lives in the event of a tsunami. Regular drills and community awareness enhance preparedness and response effectiveness.
