What to do in a Tsunami

A tsunami is a series of sea waves caused by a sudden event beneath or near the ocean. The following events can create a tsunami:

an underwater earthquake
a large underwater landslide
coastal landslides into the sea
volcanic eruptions beneath or near the sea
in rare cases, a tsunami can be created by the impact of a meteor

Like a flood, the effects of a tsunami can vary greatly from one region to another but they pose a threat to property and life in all coastal areas.
