How to save yourself from a tsunami
1. Cover yourself and stay protected during the earthquake.
2. If authorities warn or you have reason to believe a tsunami is imminent,climb to higher ground or higher floors, at least 30 meters above sea level. If there is no higher ground available, a forest could offer protection.
3. If you see the sea recede, put as much distance and height between yourself and the waterline as possible.
4. Tsunamis can penetrate inland along rivers up to several kilometers, so stay away from rivers when trying to escape a tsunami.
5. Don’t return to the potentially threatened areas until authorities indicate the danger has passed.
