Tsunami Warning Systems

Tsunami warning systems are networks that detect ocean disturbances like undersea earthquakes, which can generate tsunamis. They use sensors on the ocean floor, buoys, and observation stations to monitor seismic activity and water movement. When a potential tsunami is detected, alerts are quickly sent to authorities and communities to evacuate low-lying coastal areas. These systems are crucial for providing timely warnings, helping save lives and reduce damage by enabling rapid response and evacuation before the tsunami arrives.
