Protect from the tsunamis

I protect myself against tsunami

To protect the population from the risk of tsunamis, the authorities monitor underwater earthquakes that could cause tsunamis using devices that detect abnormal ocean movements. Protecting coral reefs and mangroves is also essential, as they form natural barriers against waves.

What to do against a tsunami ?

In the event of a tsunami warning, it is strictly forbidden to go to the beach. You should also not take a boat out to sea.
At the first signs (the sea receding, rumblings from the sea, sirens sounding): head for high ground as quickly as possible. Stay informed via the radio and do not return to the water's edge without authorization.
